Biography

Ewan Robertson has lectured in Sculpture at the Edinburgh College of Art since 1996, maintaining a sculptural practice that spans various approaches, materials, scales, and contexts. He has exhibited both nationally and internationally and has worked collaboratively for over ten years as part of an artists' group primarily focused in Europe, especially in Estonia. His art practice embraces experimental and exploratory principles, emphasizing the importance of raw creative questioning in the studio. Ewan's work fosters engagement with physical language to explore the possibilities of objects, spaces, materials, and situations. Alongside his creative work, he has taught undergraduate Sculpture practice for 20 years, encouraging first to third-year students to engage with creative experimentation and questioning to help them physicalize their ideas and forms. Ewan is also the Year Programme Organiser for third-year Sculpture. His recent research critically examines diverse aspects of iron as a material, including its nature, use, properties, status, origins, and the histories intertwined with it, alongside exploring intuitive and lateral thinking as a fuel for his artistic inquiry.
