A Hero's Journey, Original

This piece is from A Hero’s Journey - Euan Roberts’ 2023 solo show at Enter Gallery. The show subverts the traditional narrative arc from mythology, arguing we don’t have to undertake a journey to become our own hero. Instead, let’s be grateful for what we have now.

Animals are a staple of Roberts’ work, most notably his Fez-wearing bear, who is captured in this piece cycling towards an oasis. He explains:
 

“I use the bear as an avatar for ideas around Zen Buddhism and Daoist traditions. Bear represents this idea of zen – it’s always just in the moment, doing its own thing, moving in a purely instinctive way. There’s a harmony in nature I feel like we need to get back to as humans.”


This original painting is created with acrylic on canvas, and comes signed by the artist.

    About the artist
    +

    Euan Roberts is a Hastings-based artist whose work is fascinated by the unspectacular and the unrefined nature of life. 

    Defined by simplicity, colour and a repeat cast of charming animal characters used as a mirror to teach us about our humanity, each uplifting artwork reminds us to be grateful for the present moment. Speaking of his work, Roberts explains: 

    “My work is all about instilling feelings of positivity in people, and trying to encourage people to feel better about themselves. To almost say – you’re already amazing – you don’t have to do anything, or go on any journey, to prove your worth because it’s intrinsic in everyone."

    Enter Gallery has hosted two solo shows by Roberts - Tell Your Friends You Love Them in 2021, and A Hero's Journey in 2023.
