Julie Roberts established her name as an artist with paintings exploring the history of medicine, focusing on images like operating tables and straitjackets. Her paintings are recognisable by their focus on specific subjects, isolated in large areas of a single colour. Roberts uses thick, creamy paint, like cake icing, to create paintings that have a highly realistic quality.
In this short film, originally produced in 2014, the artist talks about the themes in her work, and how she believes an artist’s career is formed in childhood.
