Alex Roberts is a British artist that lives and works between Berlin and the UK. She works with paint and translucence, addressing paintings\u2019 surface and spatial depth. Testing the sliding scale of figuration and abstraction, her focus is how we perceive identity and change \u2013 encounters.
Exploring the relationship between what we see and what we feel, the work invites the viewer to question their own perceptions, while hinting at a narrative, or capturing moments in the lives of others. The candid enquiry often exposes polarized, human states, where frequently, her sensitive installation set ups of her paintings, implicate or stage the viewer as protagonist.
Currently she is exploring the tensions between what is public and what is private: how, in today\u2019s digital world, appearance often contrasts with reality and sociability belies intimacy.
