Giles Alexander | The Privilege of Practicing
By Roger Brooks
This week American Real welcomed to the set, world renowned artist, Giles Alexander. I continue to be amazed by the context of conversation that takes place when sitting across from a fellow human being. Giles provides a rare view into the depth of his work, which includes his fascination and understanding of nature and the cosmos. In the artist’s statement from his recent exhibit titled; “Eternity. Far Away. So Close.” he says, “This body of work continues to reflect upon existential themes: Who are we? What is our place in the grander scheme? Is there a knowable truth?” He goes on the say,” In my practice, along with figurative clarity, I am compelled by what cannot be seen, or can be seen only with technology.” We discuss his unique technique, the necessity of failure in order to grow and, “The privilege of Practicing.”

AN interview by Dario Rutigliano, curator and Melissa C. Hilborn, curator. arthabens.biennale@europe.com
1) Hello Nadine and welcome to ART Habens. Before starting to elaborate about your works we would like to invite our readers to visit www.nadinerobbinsart.com in order to get a wide idea about your artistic production and we would start this interview with a couple of questions about your background: while largely self-taught as a painter, you have a solid formal training in Graphic Design and after having earned your BFA from the State University of New York at New Paltz, you launched your successful career, that you later closed to devote yourself full time to painting.
How does your previous career influence your evolution as an artist? In particular, how does your cultural substratum due to American culture direct the trajectory of your current artistic research?
Nadine Robbins: While shifting from a graphic design career to working as a full-time painter may seem like a significant change—certainly, it would have a generation or two ago, when there was a strict division between “commercial” and “fine” art—for me it was a natural, seamless evolution. My expertise in graphic design has been enormously helpful in my painting.
