Ramon Roberston
Ramon Robertson has been working as an artist in Auckland since arriving in 2011. Prior to this, he lived in Scotland where he also worked as an artist, designer and tertiary lecturer.
In 1992, Ramon graduated from Glasgow School of Art with a Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) in Fine Art Sculpture. He completed his Masters of Art in Interior Design in 1997 at Manchester Metropolitan University. It was here he undertook sculpture and installation projects related to interiors and architecture.
Ramon’s work typically engages with aspects of architecture and urbanisation. The mass production and standardisation of objects is also a focus, in particular, the observation of the effects of our visual perception in regard to objects and environment. Themes linking to human condition and behaviour in the city are also concepts explored in his work.
Ramon has exhibited widely in Auckland since 2011, including ‘NZ Sculpture OnShore’ in 2012, 2014 and 2016, as well as the ‘Harbourview Sculpture Trail’ in 2014 and 2016, winning the People’s Choice Award for his sculpture Void in 2014. Robertson was invited to exhibit in the prestigious ‘Sculpture in the Gardens’ at the Auckland Botanical Gardens, in both 2015 and 2017 and was commissioned by the Arts House Trust Collection for a large outdoor work at Pah Homestead.

Ramon Robertson’s work engages with elements of conformity and union between people and environment, with a specific focus on the human condition and its relationship to space. His recent sculptures evoke a sense of stillness and introspection, focusing on the human body and its relationship to structure and place. Ramon’s twin works Prop Squash humorously explore the role of passion, sub-conscious burden and multitasking plays in our lives, as well as the increasing involvement of technology in day to day tasks – which sees us both collaborating machines and becoming more machine like in behaviour.
