Contemporary artist &multidisciplinary creative
Robin Bery is a Copenhagen-based contemporary artist and editor-at-large of The Editors. In his recent works, he portrays heroic figures: imagined personas he looks up to, some of them inspired by artists from the years he was becoming who he is. The graffiti culture he was part of eventually led him to take his work from moving trains and walls to canvases. In them, he explores its past and those who shaped it. Painted in flat, graphic forms, the portraits are mostly positive, but each can carry a message only the viewer can understand for themselves. He is now working on a new series, What We Carry.

Selected works
What We
Carry
What We Carry moves from the ‘I was here’ of a writer’s tag to ‘someone was here’. Large, moody canvases of unnamed figures and portraits by the sea sit alongside small paintings held in driftwood that crossed water nobody can trace. A personal series about crossing, belonging, and what we hold on to when everything else is left behind… About the stories that have never been told, and some that never can be.
