In 2006, Neil Wright authored and published a book on my life and art entitled Meeting Carl Roberts. Neil did such a splendid job with the book that it was awarded a Bronze at the Sappi Awards in 2007.
To order a copy, please contact me. There are a limited number of copies still available @ R300 each (excl. postage and packaging).
What others say
“… This book is a gallery of Carl’s work, representing most of his important pieces to date. An informative and sensitive analysis of Carl’s art is presented in the text… It is a must-read for all those interested in art and, more especially, lovers of art.” – From the back cover
“This book’s comprehensive and beautifully printed and catalogued illustrations reveal how his work evolves and mutates from natural and found forms to complex and finished artworks. It will be a welcome addition to the growing canon of South African art books.” – Robert Brooks, Emeritus Professor of Fine Art, Rhodes University
“Carl’s work is playfully magical, its strength derives from sound craftsmanship and an ability to coax imagery of great subtlety and humour from what to others is mere detritus. This is no mean feat.” – Brendan Bell, Curator, Tatham Art Gallery, Pietermaritzburg
