Fiona Robertson

Fiona Robertson is a researcher and practicing artist at The Glasgow School of Art, working across drawing, experimental film, painting, and sculpture. Her practice explores memory's role in shaping personal and collective identity, reworking historical art techniques (e.g., oil portraiture, silent cinema tropes) alongside themes of humor, folklore, and symbolic disruption.

Her work intervenes in contemporary crises of memory and temporality through estranged, timeless spaces. Notable exhibitions include ‘The cook, the cupboard and Joan of Arc’ at the Royal Scottish Academy and installations like ‘Green Man’ in Glasgow's Necropolis. Fiona collaborates with theatre/performance makers, as seen in her 2017 ‘Bad Sheep’ project, and curates events via beggars-teeth.com.

Active in postgraduate research supervision, she engages with contemporary art practices while drawing from historical movements like Dada and Expressionism.
