Unlike many Canadian artists who found inspiration in the landscape, Roberts was not a painter of winter. Renowned for his unique practice of completing most of his artworks in a single sitting, lasting 3-4 hours, this method posed distinct challenges during the winter. In the winter months his home and studio became his painting place. A juxtaposition of sometimes the same objects, but with relationships different from other works, Roberts achieves different but aesthetically outstanding works, each different from the other.
Goodridge Roberts was one of Canada’s most versatile artists, equally brilliant in his depiction of the still life as he was in the landscape as he was with the nude.
