New works by Michael Roberts
Guest project
c/o Patrick Heide Contemporary Art
Michael Roberts is a painter and printmaker living and working in London. He gained a BA at Nottingham Trent Polytechnic and an MA in Printmaking from the Royal College of Art, London.
“The genesis for my work both as a painter and a printmaker often starts in a circuitous manner. My primary concerns are with narrative, surface, repetition, layering and colour. Often the beginning of work is gleaned from observed situations, books read, mundane encounters, the jetsam and flotsam of everyday life or chance. Once embedded a process of evaluation begins, weighing up and worrying, formulating a working narrative until the inception."
