Lives and Works in Washington State
ROBYN O’NEIL (b. 1977) creates works on paper whose monumental narratives straddle the line between comedy and tragedy. Her extensive oeuvre excavates memories and art historical references to populate large-scale graphite landscapes. In late 2019, O’Neil was honored with a mid-career retrospective, WE, THE MASSES, at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Her solo exhibitions include the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), Winston-Salem (2017), the Des Moines Center of Art (2010); and the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston (2006). Her work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Dallas Museum of Art; Des Moines Art Center; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio; Menil Collection, Houston; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts; Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC, among others.
