About the Artist

Ward Roberts is an independent conceptual artist who creates exquisitely composed photographs drawing on themes such as the effects of loneliness and isolation in the modern world.
The artist’s perspective is fresh and engaging, and the sophisticated aesthetic is often contradicted by subtle unscripted moments. A soft-drenched colour pallet is a common theme. There is an innate energy at the core of his work, one that is harnessed and marshalled into every detail of the composition. Roberts’ work is in many ways a rebuttal of the prevailing trend of urban, gritty-style, contemporary photography. There is a dichotomy at play in his fine art images, which simultaneously recall the mastery of medium and calculated patience of remote academic painters, while also feeling completely new and contemporary.
Ward was raised in Hong Kong, lived in Melbourne and is currently based in New York.
