Robert McFate Studio is a Cincinnati-based assemblage art studio that specializes in creating unique works of art using found, natural, and re-purposed materials. Led by artist Robert McFate, the studio's mission is to serve as a mouthpiece for the found objects that speak to him, offering social commentary with a light-heartedness and playful honesty. Through his hand-painted reclamation of the system in the cracks and his practice of "fodder fishing" - collecting curb fodder with a magnet on a string - McFate creates one-of-a-kind pieces that invite viewers to look deeper and find beauty in overlooked objects.
With a focus on trash revolution and positive acts, Robert McFate Studio also contributes a portion of all sales to Keep Cincinnati Beautiful Inc., reflecting their commitment to the local community and the environment. Embracing the principles of arte povera assemblage, the studio challenges and disrupts the values of the commercialized art world by using throwaway materials to create art that delights and involves people in both physical and cerebral ways. Located at 7116 Carnation Ave, Cincinnati, the studio welcomes visitors by appointment to experience their unique creations firsthand.
