Deborah Roberts

The Front Lines

"The Front Lines" by Deborah Roberts is a mixed media work combining pigment print, collage, and gold glitter that explores themes of identity and representation through the artist's characteristic layering of photographic imagery with gestural mark making. Created in 2018 and published by Art & Culture Projects on archival Hahnemühle paper, the work measures 756 by 508 millimeters and is part of a limited edition of 25 prints. Roberts's practice often interrogates constructions of beauty, race, and childhood through the juxtaposition of found imagery and painterly intervention, making this work a significant example of her broader artistic investigation into how visual culture shapes perception and self representation.
