Lucien Rees Roberts — The Entrance

Lucien Rees Roberts

The Entrance

2014

This atmospheric landscape painting by Lucien Rees Roberts presents a sun-drenched courtyard or garden entrance framed by tall cypress trees, broad-canopied shade trees, and a low stone wall leading the eye toward a whitewashed structure beyond. The palette of muted blues, warm ochres, and deep grey greens conveys the particular quality of Mediterranean light, consistent with the artist's annual painting retreats on the Croatian coast. The loose, confident brushwork and strong architectural framing reflect Roberts's dual training as an architect and painter, lending the work a structured yet painterly presence. Available for purchase, this is an unusually large horizontal canvas that would serve as a commanding focal point in a collector's home.
