Babette Robertson is an Australian-born painter based in France. Her work explores the porous relationship between inner and outer worlds. While painting remains central, she also works across sculpture, installation, and robotics.

​

Robertson’s early environmental projects involved systematic mapping and observation. Her ongoing project Every Fallen Tree (2018 - ) documents 7,000 fallen trees in homage to Beuys’ oaks.

​

Her more recent dream-based work begins with written accounts that are translated into watercolour studies. These dreams become source material for larger oil paintings and sculptures. The same careful observation once applied to forests and environmental decay now maps psychic terrain. 

​

Robertson insists on our immersion in shared systems, ecological and psychic alike. She is interested in how the collective unconscious processes the violences of this moment. Dreams do not look away. They distort, repeat, and insist that we confront what waking life often obscures.
