Charlie Roberts’ Art Is Inspired By Everyday Life, Often Beautiful Young Women In Various Activities–Painting, Playing Tennis, Skating With A Gigantic Ghetto-Blaster. At The Same Time, They Lead Your Thoughts To Matisse’s Dancers–Roberts’ Recognizable Female Figures Are Rendered With Soft Curves In Bright Colors On A Pattern Or Monochrome Background. His Wide-Ranging Practice Also Encompasses Sculptures Roughly Carved From Chunks Of Local Trees And Painted. Stacking His Female Nudes Into A Totem Pole, The Artist Creates An Object That Sits Somewhere Between Tribal Object, Folk Art, And Pop Cultural Figure. A Cultural Magpie, Charlie Roberts’ Works Borrow From Art Historical And Pop Cultural Sources. His Cramped Paintings Display The Perspectival Complexity Of Ancient Egyptian And Byzantine Painting–The Contents Are Stacked One Above The Other, Showing Different Views Simultaneously. They Bring To Mind Hockney's Early Paintings And Photo Collages, Cubism, And Comic Books. The Subject Matter–Utterly Contemporary, Banal, And Every Day–Is At Odds With The Delicacy Of The Medium They Are Made In. Watercolor On Paper, Over A Painted Pastel Ground Which Unifies The Overall Image And Brings Harmonious Tonal Order To The Chaotic Scenarios. He Has Had Solo Exhibitions At Institutions Such As Rice University Art Gallery In Houston, Kunsthal Kade In Amersfoort, And Trafo Kunsthall In Oslo. His Work Has Been Included In Group Exhibitions At Angell Gallery In Vancouver, Randall Scott Projects In New York, David Risley Gallery In Copenhagen, And Richard Heller Gallery In Santa Monica, Among Many Other Venues Internationally.
