“Painting by Julie Roberts (b. 1963, UK): Workhouse / Boys Ward (study), 2013 (Oil on linen)” / Andréhn-Schiptjenko / Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 / SML.20130523.6D.13978
Sometimes when you are little it is hard to get noticed, but fear not, if you are good, you will still be spotted despite the noise around you.
This painting by UK artist Julie Roberts caught my eye because unlike most artworks which are screaming loudly to me, it is a world within its own. It is painted with oil, but the strokes it makes resemble one which looks like markers—with fine lines, accented with dots, rings and bubbles.
I recognize what is depicted almost immediately—it is that of a boys’ boarding school. There is something decidedly British about the scenery, and all have a child-like wonders to them in the distant past. It appears that going through historic archives is part of her process, and it really does show through.
Fine and exquisite. SML Love.
