 “YOUNG WORLD FACES is an irresistible collection where identity, beauty, and artistry come together to mesmerize and fascinate. Without a word, artist Robert Young speaks to the unique nature of each global citizen and the promise of Generation Next.”

“We are thrilled to have acquired Face of Canada by Robert Young for the Government of Ontario Art Collection in 2018.

It is an inspirational, diverse and high-quality artwork which we are excited to showcase in our collection. It will be made available to the public through its display in government buildings and on the Archives of Ontario website.”

“When I first saw the Faces collection by Robert Young, I knew that we had to find a way to bring him in as an official partner of the International Champions Cup and El Clasico Miami. It was clear that his work was bold and would capture the attention of the world.

The story of finding Robert was one that I will look back on as a stroke of luck. Robert was immediately receptive to the idea of joining this international project that would occur in Miami and was an absolute pleasure to work with. His pursuit of excellence, passion and professionalism made our partnership one of the highlights of building El Clasico Miami.

Robert shared his ability to produce such amazing work in an almost impossible timeline and was met with amazing global feedback from the clubs, players and fans. His creative vision for how the Faces of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF would launch El Clasico Miami will have a lasting impact on the fans of the International Champions Cup forever.

Robert captivated the audience and changed the perspective of the ICC through his art. It was our honor to have him serve as an official artist and partner of the ICC and we look forward to working together closely in the future.” 

 “In addition to our Lead Partnership of the Toronto Pan American Games, CIBC was incredibly excited to be presenting sponsor of PANAMANIA, a 35-day festival which celebrated Canada’s diversity and the vibrant culture and heritage of the Pan American region. 

One of the exhibits we at CIBC were most proud of was one that came to life in our very lobby at Commerce Court in downtown Toronto. YOUNG World Faces of Pan Am, created by Robert Young, was a stunning collection of 41 large-scale images, each represented by local women with roots in all of the 41 Pan Am Games countries…their faces a canvas for the flag of their nation.

Robert is an internationally accomplished artist who has spent over 20 years engaging in creative initiatives that uplift the human spirit, embrace our differences, and celebrate our commonality. We were so lucky to be able to exhibit his beautiful and important photographic exhibition over the course of the Games. Robert has an extraordinary talent and I personally look forward to experiencing his future exhibits.”

 “Union Market District is a unique canvas for talented artists like Robert Young. His “Unmask Fear” activation, seen by over 2.26M people over a ten-month period, is a beautiful example of how community finds a way to come together through creative expression. Our mission is to enrich community through authentic engagement. We are grateful to Robert Young for sharing his vision so passionately and generously.”

“Robert Young’s unique depiction of the faces of the Americas was a tremendous and wonderful way to bring attention and interest to the Toronto 2015 Pan American and Parapan American Games. Whether it was through depictions installed at the national headquarters of the Games lead partner — CIBC — or whether through our digital marketing efforts, Young's work demonstrated the strength and beauty of the Americas seen through the faces of Canadians. There is a story behind each of the 41 faces and Robert is truly a master storyteller!”

“SCOPE enthusiastically welcomes R7 by Robert Young to our 20th edition of SCOPE Miami Beach, an artist that stands as a critical contribution to both global politics and local community engagement while celebrating his new and diverse voice.”

“Robert Young’s symbolic “YOUNG WORLD FACES” series evokes a raw, passionate and almost spiritual feeling of pride and loyalty that proves to be a timeless example of emotive Fine Art Imagery.”
