Robbie Karmel completed his PhD at UNSW A+D and returned to Canberra in 2019 to establish his studio in Mitchell.

His research and practice explore concepts of mimetic representation, phenomenological embodiment, perception, tool use, and representation through expanded drawing practices, extending into printmaking, sculptural and performative methods.

Robbie began working at Megalo in 2023 and has been rediscovering etching, lithography, screenprint, and monoprint.

Robbie’s practice includes the production of studio furniture, apparatus, and tools to facilitate and interrupt solo and collaborative performative drawing and making.
