TINTED LIMESTONE WORKS In 1976, Robin Antar suddenly made a startling discovery -that she was blind in one eye and had been since birth. This condition, retrolental fibroplasia, which she perceives as an extraordinary gift, not only affected her vision but also became an integral tool among the techniques she uses in her artistic process. Images are visualized from the inside out rather than the outside in, with the subject matter drawn from within her immediate line of vision. The interaction between her nose and cheekbone, for example, assumes magnified importance when seen at such close range. Aesthetic beauty and superficial thought were not her concerns; she focused on fundamental feelings and basic sensations, resulting in sculptures with an uncommon perspective, jarring color, and anomalous form. Antar plays with texture, ranging from gritty and abrasive to smooth and soft. By using a grid format, she creates shifting planes that abstract the subject matter and add depth to her compositions. Working with tan stones, she carefully selects colors and tints, not for their aesthetic appeal but rather to enhance the overall message of her art. The stark color contrasts in her pieces serve to intensify the planes and create visual tension within the composition of her artwork.

American sculptor Robin Antar has been called “Brooklyn’s answer to Andy Warhol.” She brings Pop art to stone, carving iconic American food and clothing with her distinct brand of hyperrealism. Antar began sculpting in stone as a teenager in 1974, carving abstract sculptures that were deeply rooted in her emotions. She received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York in 1981. In 1998, her artistic path evolved from Abstract Expressionism to Pop art as she turned to realism, inspired by American popular culture. Antar’s mission is to create a visual record of modern American culture through commonplace objects as she explores the question, “What is America?” Meticulously carved in stone, a hamburger with fries, an American-made work boot, Oreo cookies and a giant Ballpark Frank become lasting monuments to contemporary life. A concurrent series, “What is America Now?” brings strong emotions to sculptures representing major events in recent times that have greatly affected American culture such as the September 11 attack on New York’s Twin Towers in 2001 and the election of Donald Trump as president in 2016. Robin Antar is the recipient of the Wynn Newhouse Grant as well as the Allied Artists of America Gold Medal of Honor. Her sculptures have been exhibited in galleries and museum across the U.S., including Sotheby’s, The National Arts Club, Nabisco Gallery, City Museum of St. Louis, Provincetown Art Museum and the MGM Grand and she has been an elected member of the prestigious Allied Artists of America. She has received commissions to carve replicas of products for companies such as Dr. Martens, Stella Artois, Skechers and Château Haut-Brion. Antar’s work has received has been featured in Food Network Magazine, the New York Post, Art Business News, Huffington Post, Sportswear International, the New York Daily News, HGTV, Fox News and POP Culture Radio, among others. Robin Antar lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
