Biography
Roberts studied at Nottingham Trent University between 1999–2002 and graduated with artist James Robert Ford and curator Helen Jones. He completed his postgraduate diploma and master of arts at Chelsea College of Art, London.
In 2005, Roberts attended the Rojaraku Spatial Art Laboratory in the town of Roja in the Talsi District of Latvia. In 2004, Roberts attended the Braziers International Artists Workshop, one of the Triangle Arts Trust workshops.
Roberts' work IAO won the 2008 Marmite Prize for Painting, as judged by Michele Fletcher, Liz Neal and Millie Thompson, formally of BANK (art collective).
In 2009, Roberts was selected for the Jerwood Drawing Prize. In 2006, Roberts formed the 'Noon Day Demons' with fellow artists Sophie Baker, Matthew Carver, Oliver Perkins and Simon Rattigan. A collaborative drawing project, The Noon Day Demons stated "the group came into being with the intention of exploring collective unconscious and uniqueness through the medium of drawing. The spirit of the demons collaboration is one of interference and distraction from the discipline of individual practice".
In 2011, Roberts was chosen by Rise Art's curators as a Select Artist. He released two screen prints with Rise Art from his UNIT Print series including UNIT Print #14 and UNIT Print #25 in editions of 35.
