The Immersive World of Thom Roberts is the first solo exhibition for multidisciplinary contemporary Australian artist Thom Roberts. Roberts’ bold portraits morph people with trains and buildings, inviting audiences to see the world through his eyes. In his work, and in his life, people and places are bestowed new identities and exist as multiple personas – Roberts himself identifies as the CountryLink Express train and the Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia.
Showcasing more than 100 works spanning his prolific, decade-long career to date, this exhibition will feature paintings, installation and animation as well as major new work. Journey through Thom’s world and discover his distinctive style made up of idiosyncratic motifs: extra sets of eyes and noses, and his signature ‘piano teeth’.
