Mister Welfare

A New York Minute With Christophe Roberts


Listen Later

Christophe Roberts is a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, painting, design and installation work. Coming of age in the bloom in hip-hop, Roberts’ early practice was influenced by music and salon culture. His designs and figures acknowledge his own fraught relationship to capitalism, while his practice explores complex masculinities, rebel origin myths, and the commodification of identity through meditations on mass culture iconography. The larger project of these pieces considers the impermanence of physical artifacts and the fluidity of identity. Roberts remains committed to found and footprint-free pieces, communal healing through public beautification, and participatory art.
