"The unseen" by Deborah Roberts | Art in a Flash with Miranda Lash

Artist Deborah Roberts's mixed media works on paper and on canvas combine found images, sourced from the Internet, with hand-painted details in striking figural compositions that invite viewers to look closely and to see through the layers. She focuses her gaze on Black children—historically, and still today, among the most vulnerable members of our population—investigating how societal pressures, projected images of beauty or heroicism, and the violence of American racism condition their experiences growing up in this country as well as how others perceive them. Simultaneously brave and insecure, playful and serious, powerful and vulnerable, the figures Roberts depicts are complex, as well as, occasionally, based on actual living or historical persons. Here, Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, Ellen Bruss Senior Curator, Miranda Lash, examines her work: The unseen, 2020. Mixed media collage on canvas. 65 x 45 inches.
