Tony Robbin

Tony Robbin (born November 24, 1943 in Washington, DC) is an American artist and author, who works with painting, sculpture and computer visualizations.

Work

Robbin has had over 25 solo exhibitions of his painting and sculpture since his debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974, and has been included in over 100 group exhibitions in 12 countries.

He holds the patent for the application of Quasicrystal geometry to architecture, and has implemented this geometry for a large-scale architectural sculpture at the Danish Technical University in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, as well as one for the city of Jacksonville, Florida. Tony Robbin's third book, "Shadows of Reality, The Fourth Dimension in Relativity, Cubism, and Modern Thought" has been published by Yale University Press, in Spring 2006. He is also the author of the book "Engineering a New Architecture", published by Yale University Press in 1996 and "Fourfield: Computers, Art & the Fourth Dimension", published in 1992 by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Company on the subject of mathematics and art. He has written 24 papers and articles, mostly for peer review publications, and lectured to professional organizations and university departments of art, physics, mathematics, computer science, architecture, and engineering in the United States, in Europe and Japan, including engineering society meetings in Atlanta, Copenhagen, Guilford, and Budapest. Tony Robbin is a pioneer in the computer visualization of four-dimensional geometry. Since 1981, his realtime rotation programs of four-dimensional figures have been useful for obtaining an intuitive feel for four-dimensional space, and quasicrystal space. The original DOS and Microsoft Windows versions are available for free download from his website.
