Exhibitions

2024 (August and September 29th-1st), Solo Exhibit, “Nostalgia”, The Department Store, Brixton, UK

Nostalgia is about unnatural events in the natural world. Roberts’ work preserves both memory and subject, however fleeting. His technique is a microscopic examination of nature’s own artwork. It celebrates the overlooked but fundamental elements of life itself: wildflowers and pollinators, revealing their magnificent but fragile beauty.
