We’d like you to meet Seattle-based artist Tyson Anthony Roberts. A graduate of UC Davis, Roberts paints abstract landscapes that employ lines and shapes to represent the ever changing environment, but it’s his spot-on palette that really attracts me to his work. He uses a lot of muted hues and sporadically injects vibrant, often unexpected colors that really pop against the gradated shades of grays, greens, and browns, making for a pleasing abstract work of art.
