John Roberts is a Suffolk artist painting in oils and specialising in East Anglian subjects often centred around coastal towns including Woodbridge, Aldeburgh, Walberswick and Southwold.

John typically focuses on local scenes– from hedgerows to towns and onto harbours with windswept sea shores and fishing boats tied up in a tangle of ropes and back up into the tight streetscapes that surround.

John’s work is never merely sentimental or nostalgic. He records a real world using a robust painting style and a rich, deep palette, the intention is to penetrate below the surface to a drama often missed in this seemingly idyllic East Anglian environment.
