“Robert is an inspirational artist whose seemingly boundless ingenuity is only matched by his passion for the creative process.
The works he created captured the excitement of the games, the players, the fans and the global community that all came together for a truly memorable event in Miami and we were thrilled to be able to share the works with the world.”
“Art matters – in our everyday lives, in our society and in our hearts and minds. At the level of the individual, they stimulate creativity and encourage us to strive for excellence. But our talents, brilliance and vitality also help define us as a province and a nation. They are a powerful means of social cohesion fostering greater understanding and appreciation among diverse cultural traditions.
Robert Young’s arresting exhibition, YOUNG WORLD FACES, holds up a mirror to us reflecting an interdependent global world. Through these Faces, we see vulnerability and triumph – the power of the human spirit. They inspire and nourish the soul.”
Young is without question, one of the most talented, passionate, committed artists I know. He is a unique individual who is not only devoted to the pursuit of excellence, but possesses an uncanny ability to create, coordinate, and execute at the highest level. His attention to detail is unique in the world of photography and art.
YOUNG WORLD FACES is a bold and transformational exhibition from a very committed creative artist which celebrates inclusion, diversity, and the human spirit. The exhibition remains one of the great legacies of the arts and culture component of Toronto Pan American Games cultural celebrations.”
“Robert Young is not only a supremely talented artist but the ultimate collaborator. I worked closely with him on the commissioned YOUNG WORLD FACES pieces for El Clásico Miami and his creative vision, paired with a strong work ethic, and get it done mentality made for a truly successful partnership.
Through his work, Robert was able to capture the spirit of El Clásico Miami and the passion that the global soccer community has for the game. With less than a month to execute his vision, Robert went through hell and high water to produce the commissioned FC Barcelona and Real Madrid pieces and the final artwork was nothing short of amazing.”
“We were so impressed with our initial viewing of Robert's show that we returned the next week. Our second visit allowed us the opportunity to get to know Robert and to experience his art on a more personal level. We are now honored to have this amazing piece as part of our collection and to call Robert our friend.”
“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.”
“When I first saw the YOUNG WORLD 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.
His pursuit of excellence, passion and professionalism made our partnership one of the highlights of building El Clasico Miami.
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.”
Behind Face of Canada lies Robert Young's unwavering commitment to strategic communications through art.
