Hedley Roberts

Hedley Roberts thinks about love, love lost, and love lamented. Influenced by Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse, love films, narratives of popular music and visual blogging cultures, Roberts' expressive figurative paintings and video installations look for satiation, passion and love, only to find adolescent anxiety, emotional crisis and broken heartedness.
