Welcome to the virtual platform of Robert Roest.

Robert Roest (1992) is a Dutch visual artist (painter), who currently lives and works in New York. This page provides an insight into the artistic process of Robert Roest; presentations of studio visits, artist talks, and visual reports of his work and exhibitions.

In his work Roest explores phenomenon like perception, projection, illusion and representation. His work is about the interrelationship between reality and your senses. All his work revolves around the questions 'can you trust your senses?’ ‘Can you believe your eyes?’ The paintings are much about the physical experience of seeing and about the impact images have on us, not at least the images we see online.
