Holly Roberts Lecture on Nov. 18
Barefoot Rider (Girl) - Holly Roberts 2013
The photographic artist Holly Roberts will be speaking at 5:30 Tuesday, Nov. 18, in FNAR 213.
Holly Roberts, born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, earned an M.F.A. from Arizona State University, Tempe, in 1981. Her pieces are nationally and internationally exhibited and have been published in three monographs. She has twice received National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. She currently lives and works in Corrales, New Mexico with her husband, Robert Wilson.
Roberts' works intuitively, painting an abstract painting on a panel before applying her signature photo fragments. She uses muted colors of paint and black-and-white photographs to create images that are filled with humor, irony and mythology. Her metamorphic beings illustrate archetypal emotional or dream states, although her subject matter has expanded from the internal to a wider worldview, touching on religion, technology and the environment. Robert’s art is bold, a bit brash and almost always irreverent. Her work can be found on her website at www.hollyrobertsstudio.com.
