Evan Robinson (b. 1999) is a Nisga’a artist from the Pacific Northwest Coast, born and based in Edmonton, Alberta. Working primarily through printmaking, drawing, and text-based practices, Robinson’s work is concerned with narrative transmission, trace, and the ways stories move between bodies, materials, and states of perception. His practice often draws from spiritualist histories, dream encounters, and Indigenous and maritime folkloric traditions, treating these sources not as allegory but as lived or recorded experiences that leave marks.
In 2025–2026, Robinson’s work was featured in nâpêhkâsowinowâk, a group exhibition at the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton. Recent exhibitions include marrowline at SNAP Gallery, Edmonton (2025) and Fields at Access Gallery, Vancouver, BC (2024). In autumn 2025, he was a Visiting Artist in Residence at St. Michael’s Printshop in St. John’s, Newfoundland, where he led a workshop centered on maritime folkloric tales alongside creation stories from his First Nation.
Robinson holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Alberta. His work continues to examine how memory, belief, and narrative persist through material practice.
