Brilliant Shadows - Solo show Arik Roper

Brilliant Shadows is an exclusive and first European solo show for Roper, who is known for his lone figures, unfolding landscapes, deep colours and rich aesthetic. Examples of his work can be found in MTV animations, magazines such as Arthur Magazine and Revolver, copious vinyland CD covers, as well as film and event posters.

Roper’s work breathes pure passion for drawing and painting and radiates intensity, executed with technical perfection and astounding, engrossing detail. By combining watercolour with gouache, Roper masterfully creates scenic depth in his work and this has made him influential the world over. He convincingly visualises fantasy worlds in a credible idyllic setting. The images radiate a grand, colourful splendour, exceptionally vivid in portraying psychedelic visions, sages or prophetic dreams. His ability to illustrate stories filled with mythical animals and creatures in a striking, energetic setting entices the viewer to imagine themselves in that landscape.
