2006 Blake Prize Entry
A new work and a new avenue of expression, entitled 'The Last Supper' is hanging at the National School of Art in Darlinghurst.
The Last Supper Wood, metal, glass, stainless steel wire, light emitting diode, electrical conponentry. NAS Gallery Forbes Street DARLINGHURST NSW 2010 11.00am - 4.00pm Monday - Friday This work is a departure from Young's previous work, but still embraces the threads that preoccupy Young's working mind. Previous bodies of work are dark and heavy with social statements. The last Supper is a delicate and careful, full of The lightness of being. Yet still with a hint and tone of the dark side. The red light symbolising Judas, or Temptation or the more obvious aspects to the blood of Christ. This work, one of five new glass sculptures was made with the Blake Prize in mind. "God, Love or Religion all feature in my work. They are easy targets, have significant connotations and gaping holes of logic. This body of work is about faith. Faith in Life, Faith in Love and Faith in Faith. Everything of value is defenceless." Blake shows spirit of new age A light hearted note comes from Robert Young's The Last Supper, an upside-down bouquet of wine glasses strung together with wire. The Australian, Rosalie Higson.

Art Work damaged: Robert Young offends again
Two new works were damaged at a group show in Sydney, today. The controversial works directly tackle religious and social culture head on. It is suspected that it enraged another artist or artists enough to throw something at the delicate artwork. It is believed that it would not of been possible to damage the works while the show was open as it was so well supported. " There are so many passive aggressive's out their, its amazing that this was the actions of another artist. I donšt do twee artwork. This is not the first work to offend or to be damaged, but I still get shocked by the limitations of peoples minds." November 2005
