Larry Roberts was an abstract figurative, expressionist and impressionist painter. He was a true master colorist and used acrylic paint as his main medium to evoke raw, visceral images - drawing from the subconscious and darkness that can be found there.
Music, poetry, nature were all a large part of his creative process. Each original frame was meticulously thought out to ensure it would finish the painting, without distracting from it, becoming an integral part of it, sculpturally.
September 10, 1963 - August 13, 2019
Music and poetry were integral to Larry’s creative process. He moved fluidly between mediums, allowing his mind to roam freely, translating the depths of his subconscious into raw, expressive imagery. His studio was a space of rhythm and reflection, where sound and verse intertwined with paint, shaping his distinctive vision.
Larry loved experimenting with the airbrush, drawn to its unique ability to manipulate color and form. It offered a different kind of control—fluid yet precise—allowing him to create organic, ethereal compositions that felt both spontaneous and intentional.
“Within the image layer the underlying textures, interpolated paint layers, and fluid surface working collaborate to diffuse direct image: the artist approaches an analytical, Orphic abstractionism, in conception and in final expression. But... that sentence is a piling of words. And of such Steiner noted: “The tree dies under the hungry weight of the vines.” It is the art that is the enlivened experience.”
