A solo exhibition of paintings by Fiona G. Roberts whose work has been nominated for six major awards in recent years.
"Captivating Images"
Rosa JH Berland
New York art historian and former curator at MOMA
Using oil, acrylic, ink and watercolour, the London artist Fiona G Roberts disconcerts viewers with dark portraits of mysterious women in a distinctive loose and expressive style
"My work explores psychological states resulting from structural societal practices and norms, particularly forms of oppressionMy paintings often allude to a sense of discomfort or unease but are intentionally indistinct and ambiguous so that there is enough room for the viewer to bring their own interpretation to the work." Fiona G Roberts
In an accompanying text to the exhibition, critic Paul Carey-Kent writes: "Roberts's characters engage with the viewer: where a conventional portrait will often return our look, Roberts' characters seem to be lost in their own thoughtsThere may not be a snappy term for it, but she paints non-portraits of real people."
