Aidan Robertson is an artist born in Kirkcaldy and currently living in Dunfermline. He grew up in the small seaside village of Aberdour. He briefly studied architecture in Glasgow before embarking on his artistic journey in Dundee. He studied Fine art at Duncan and Jordanstone College of Art and design. Within his studies he also travelled to Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, learning about the art and culture. Of particular interest was the indigenous populations, and the relationships people have with the surrounding natural landscape. Recently graduating with a first class honours degree, he has recently begun his art practise outside of education, exploring his interests surrounding communication, social integration in urban environments, and technological perspectives of the organic.

Statement of practise: In seeing humanity, nature and technology as one interconnected system, the artist Aidan Robertson explores the subtle, emotive, and organic interactions we experience in our technological, city based lives. He considers electronic communication networks akin to the chemical, such as that within the roots of plant life. The artist observes our futile attempts at control over nature, and explores how we are currently deeply ingrained in a chaotic, sensory, organically-digital existence; searching for balance.
