Malik Roberts

Malik Roberts (born 1990 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American painter and multimedia artist of Guyanese and Trinidadian descent, who grew up between Brooklyn and Atlanta. Known for his prismatic visual language, he creates emotionally charged works that explore identity, tension and human experience through fragmented figures and strong colour contrasts.

His compositions, often dominated by intense reds and deep blues, combine abstraction and portraiture in layered multimedia works, where physical intensity carries as much weight as emotion.

ABXY gallery gave him his first solo exhibitions, "Stolen" in 2017 and "BLK & BLUE" in 2018. He gave Pope Francis a Black Christ. Allouche Gallery, in SoHo, showed "To Suffer A Lick" in 2023. In 2024, "The Double Up", at D'Stassi Art, was his first solo exhibition in London.

Roberts has exhibited in several cities, including New York and Philadelphia. Alongside his artistic practice, he has collaborated with major brands such as Nike, Adidas, American Express and Bombay Sapphire.
