About the Item

Richard Roberts' (b.1930, Kalamazoo, USA) work has been celebrated for over 20 years, establishing himself in some of the most notable private collections in the United Kingdom. With the use of a variety acrylics on canvas, Dick Roberts' work boasts vibrant colour and energy. It is through Dick's studious attention to detail together with the careful and considerate application of paint that the non-representational forms are never allowed to exist as just paint markings. With the relentless approach Dick has with his painting process, quite often a piece will be reworked over many years, before the piece is considered complete. Using many forms of application, including the use of tar and other materials, Roberts achieves an extraordinary exuberance that emanates from the canvas. With a choice of colours that are often jarring when juxtaposed with each other, the canvas speaks loudly and obversely from within, creating a very vibrant canvas.

  • Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters) Italian Expressionist Painting on Canvas
    By Andrea Spinelli
    Located in Firenze, IT
    The present work of art titled "Urban Abstraction (ripped off posters)" is part of a series of paintings that the artist composed in the 1980s and 1990s inspired by the observation of the urban reality of those years. The artist take the cue from his walks in Florence, both in the center and in the suburbs, and by the observation of billboards and posters scattered throughout the city. The mass of information, colors, messages and words were carried on the canvas with acrylic colors, ideally reconstructing the tears and overlaps of all the information and advertising contained on these huge sheets of paper that invade our cities. The geometric lines are overlaid with jagged lines, overlaps and color dripping and also the choice in the color palette, with different shades of white, gray, rose, orange red and blue helps in rendering the result of the tears and ripped paper. The result is a beautiful multicolored modern abstract canvas, both aesthetically and ethically, with many rich layers of color, texture and expression in which the artist leaves his own message. The painting is housed in a simple modern white lacquer wood frame. Andrea Spinelli...
