Since exploding onto the art scene in 2003 with his playful wall drawing performances, Robin Rhode has scribbled on just about every type of surface, while also making photographs and sculptures of objects like bikes, candles, and light blubs out of chalk and charcoal. Before debuting his new show at Lehmann Maupin in New York’s Chelsea, the South Africa-born, Berlin-based artist offered a behind-the-scenes glimpse into his multi-disciplinary practice.
In addition to his Lehmann Maupin exhibition on view through August 21, Rhode will present Drawing Waves at The Drawing Center in New York from July 17 through August 30, 2015.
