About the artist:

I paint pictures about ideas. I see my paintings as a diary of experience and thought – the sorts of images that defy verbal expression. I was originally trained as a chemist, but have always been interested in physics, and am fascinated by the relationship between art and science. I have recently been influenced by physicist Carlo Rovelli’s book Reality is Not What it Seems which explores the realm of quantum physics.

"With sensitive, assiduous craft, Mr. Schmid paints people, city streets, and natural landscapes … He organizes these images into gridded compositions that have a moody, cinematic quality." - Ken Johnson, NY Times

"Roberts’ painting is beautiful – really evocative of dream space and the imperceptible slow/fast flow of time eddying around us." - Adrienne Ottenberg
