holly ROBERTS — MORPETH CONTEMPORARY

HOLLY ROBERTS

Roberts’ works comprises elements of portraiture, nature, and narrative, and are often about the psyche and soul. The visual language in which she speaks has been informed and influenced by myriad sources in varied disciplines: primitive art, folk art, both abstract and figurative painting, as well as photography. With her unique combination of photography and paint Holly Roberts processes the world through her eyes and her hands. Her art is a personal response to experience and a critical response to society, imbued with intuition, wit, pathos and humor.

Roberts has twice been the recipient of the National Endowment of the Arts for Photography. Her work has been exhibited extensively since 1980, both nationally and internationally, and is included in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum of Photographic Art in San Diego, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago. Her work has been published in three monographs.
