Christopher Robin Duncan (b. 1974, Perth Amboy, NJ) lives and works in Oakland, California. Duncan’s practice is interdisciplinary, incorporating painting, sculpture, sound, and performance.

He has had solo exhibitions at Pt. 2 Gallery, Oakland (2024); Rebecca Camacho Presents, San Francisco (2023; 2020); Halsey McKay Gallery, East Hampton (2022; 2019; 2016); Eighteen Gallery, Copenhagen (2020); Human Resources, Los Angeles (2018); and Headlands Center for the Arts (2016); amongst others.
His work has been included in group exhibitions at The Wattis Institute, California College of Arts, San Francisco (2024); San Francisco State University Fine Arts Gallery (2022); Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Omaha (2019); Susan Inglett Gallery, New York (2018); the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) (2018); and the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery (2018); amongst others.
