James Roberts

James Roberts creates expressive representations of wild landscapes and their inhabitants. He works on paper using a wet process with ink and salt, a technique which allows for maximum simplicity and spontaneity, letting the pigment flow freely with unpredictable textures and forms. The result is a sense of movement, a wild dance created using the smallest footprint –  just a few drops of ink, a little salt, and water.

He is also a writer and filmmaker. His recent book ‘Two Lights’ was nominated for the RSL Ondaatje Prize. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
