Gwyn Roberts studied fine art at Norwich in the 1970s. Throughout the 1980s, when he exhibited widely in galleries across Britain, his use of paint was intricate. Teaching and raising a family intervened. Now, with restricted movement in his thumb joint following an accident, his use of paint has changed drastically. What could have been a restriction has proved liberating, causing him to develop a new freedom of style. His use of the palette knife, and his love of Welsh landscapes, evoke memories of the late Sir Kyffin Williams, but Roberts has distinguished himself with a subtle, varied use of colour that perhaps links back to his earlier painting style.
