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.
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.
