"Roberts' painting, titled Metropolis, takes inspiration from Dix's triptych, yet approaches socio-political critiques with a lighter touch, focusing on human interaction."
"Roberts explores the inherent strangeness of human interaction within urban spaces, capturing intertwined yet isolated figures wrestling with their internal strife."
Palo Gallery announces Charlie Roberts' first solo exhibition, 'Metropolis'. The artwork builds on Roberts' magical realism, portraying urban life and human interactions. A significant piece reinterprets Otto Dix's 1927-1928 painting, 'Metropolis', exploring the complexities of city life with an emphasis on the strange nature of social engagement. Unlike Dix's focus on socio-political narratives, Roberts employs a subtler approach, showcasing figures that, while intertwined, remain isolated and engaged in personal struggles within bustling urban environments.
