Shaun Roberts on Teaching Painting, Qualities of Remington & Brouwer and Studying with Odd Nerdrum
Following his victory in the World Wide Kitsch Competition 2021, Shaun Roberts was invited to the Cave of Apelles for an interview about his award-winning portrait "The Messenger".
He shares stories from his teaching experience at a Texan university and his unconventional sources of influence, such as the Dutch genre painter Adrian Brouwer, as well as the American "Cowboy" painter Frederic Remington.
Studying with Odd Nerdrum, Roberts also breaks down the most important things he is currently learning.
