Leah Robb * Art

“Where words fall short, art begins to speak.”

My name is Leah Merete Robb – a culmination of the Scottish and Danish heritage that coexists in my make-up as well as my name.

Although I spent all my childhood years living in Scotland, I was quickly made aware of being different – either because of my foreign heritage or my artistic characteristics. Regardless, the combination is perhaps what has triggered my interest in studying and portraying people – especially those who are at odds with society as a whole.

“Art is the language of the soul, spoken in colors, shapes, and imagination.”

My Beloved Addict

I have now had several exhibitions of a series I called, ‘My beloved addict’ in Copenhagen and in Aarhus. The purpose of the work is to create dialogue and understanding between people in addiction and those who suffer as a result of someone else’s addiction. Hopefully it can open up further dialogue and potentially lead towards healing.

Otto Frello

I heard about the Danish artist, Otto Frello in 2000 and met him briefly in 2004, but as I was beginning my Christiania portraits in 2008, he came to mind and I decided to visit him with samples of my work. This led to a friendship of mutual respect for our art practices. Frello came to my following exhibition openings and I would visit him on occasion.

Art with heart

For many years art with a strong message has been somewhat disregarded. ‘The viewer should be free to interpret as they wish’. Although that is fine, I think art has such a powerful voice to speak from and to the heart, and I find that I cannot keep my paintbrush silent.

Christiania Project

My interest in people continued to grow, but with the added concern about community breakdown – the isolation and social deprivation. In 2006 I visited an alternative community in Copenhagen called Christiania.
