Robyn Cumming is a Photo-based artist working in Toronto. She received a BFA from Ryerson University and an MFA from York University. She currently teaches in the photography dept. at OCAD and in the Art and Art History joint program between U of T and Sheridan College. Robyn has been described as, “the most deadpan funny artist using film since French director Jacques Tati” (Peter Goddard, Toronto Star), who has “an uncanny ability to conjure up entire short stories in a single image” (David Jager, Now Magazine).
Her work has been exhibited throughout Canada and in New York and Asia, and is reproduced in the art books “Fast Forward 2007” and “Carte Blanche”, published by Magenta Foundation. Robyn’s work can be found in private collections worldwide as well as in the public collection at the Kiyosato Museum of Contemporary Photography in Japan. She was recently featured in a new series about Canadian photographers titled Snapshot on BRAVO.
