Rob Wynne

B. New York, NY, 1948

Rob Wynne is a sculptor and installation artist whose delicately crafted mixed-media works incorporate text, textiles, printmaking, and poured glass. Wynne eschews the traditional technique of glassblowing, instead hand-pouring glass into shapes that together form short phrases of text, as well as resembling shimmering raindrops or dew on a spiderweb. Words and language are key throughout Wynne’s practice, which often features fragments of sentences both thoughtful and absurd. The glass text pieces are deliberately intended to be reflective so that the viewer sees themself while reading these open-ended phrases.

Wynne lives and works in New York. His work is held in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, New York; CityCentre Pompidou, Paris, France; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Whitney Museum of Art, New York; The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pennsylvania; the Bibliothèque National, Paris; and the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Florida, among others.
