Our Story

 A Legacy of Art and Color

Larry Roberts Chicago began as a dream driven by the creative spirit of my late husband, the talented artist Larry Roberts. His passion for art was not just a profession; it was a way of life, filled with vibrant colors and dynamic expressions. After his passing, I felt a profound responsibility to carry forward his legacy and share his incredible artistry with the world. 

With love and dedication, I took the helm of the brand, committing to translate Larry’s unique artistic vision into new forms. Our journey led to the creation of custom rugs, textiles, fabrics, and wallcoverings that embody his colorist abilities and artistic nuances. Every piece we offer is a reflection of Larry’s original designs, thoughtfully reimagined to enrich environments and inspire those who encounter them. 

At Larry Roberts Chicago, we strive to keep his legacy alive by infusing spaces with the same vibrancy and creativity that defined his work. It is our mission to share his art with a broader audience and to celebrate the beauty of expression through our beautifully crafted products. Join us in honoring Larry’s vision as we continue to immerse the world in color.

Larry Our Artist - Bio

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
“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.”
