"For me, painting has always been a way of negotiating being in the world. Without it, I'm lost."
— HEDLEY ROBERTS
 

Roberts is also a former head of several art schools in the UK and professor of art; supervision of PhD students. He now lives and works in Margate UK with artist Sian-Kate Mooney and their dog, Logan. Robert's challenging paintings of still life vanitas, landscapes, momento-mori and portraits refer to personal narratives, art history, politics and popular culture and are recognized for their complex range of painting techniques and for their themes of otherness, existential threat and gothic subjectivity.
