Casey Roberts
Overview
Dreamy and contemplative – Roberts’ cyanotype paintings depict a variety of domestic and wilderness subjects which evoke stillness and wonder. Subjects the artist often revisits include trees, water, animals, and sky. Through his thoughtful use of silhouettes and selective color, Roberts’ ethereal works, profound in their simplicity, tap into our longing for connection with the natural world.
“My work is synonymous with a fairytale; the paintings are dark, yet humorous. Animals play a leading role and the work blends together to form a narrative. There’s a moral of the story, one that hints at humans’ relationship with nature with a knowing wink.” — Casey Roberts
