In this Listen To Your Footsteps episode, we explore the fascinating journey of world-renowned multi-disciplinary artist Robin Rhode.

From his early days as a provincial cricket player to his groundbreaking art that merges performance, photography, and painting, Robin takes us through the creative processes that have shaped his career. He reflects on how his upbringing, exposure to church iconography, and his father’s work as a draughtsman have influenced his unique visual style.

Robin also opens up about the struggles of balancing art and personal life, especially the challenges of fatherhood and how failure fuelled some of his best work.

We discuss his move to Berlin, where love and new experiences guided him, and his commitment to creating art that challenges boundaries while embracing cultural, political, and ecological themes.

This episode offers an intimate look at Robin’s artistic philosophy and how he channels struggle into a form of creative power.
