Dr Hedley Roberts has been an academic in Art & Design at the University of East London since 2005. Prior to this he was Senior Lecturer in Digital Arts at the University of West London for six years. He has lectured in Fine Art and Graphics in many UK institutions since 1996, including the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins College of Art, Camberwell College of Arts, Middlesex University, Hertfordshire University, Lincoln University, Kingston University, Coventry University, North Oxfordshire College and School of Art and Lewisham College.
Dr. Hedley Roberts lives and works in London. He is a graduate of Central Saint Martins BA Fine Art and the Royal College of Art MA Fine Art Printmaking, and also has a Doctorate in Fine Art from the Univesity of East London. He has been a Royal College of Art Fine Art Fellow and a Stanley Picker Fellow at Kingston University. He has worked for 20 years in Higher Education and is currently Head of Art & Design at the University of East London. He runs a number of artists Residency projects, including 'Directional Forces' which has has taken place in Germany, Serbia, Italy and Greece and involved over 60 artists since 2011. Solo exhibitions include 'Hedley Roberts', Wolo Gallery, Kuala Lumpur (2014), and 'The Lovers', Herrick Gallery, London (2014). Recent group exhibitions include Pravac Sila, Ozone Belgrade, Serbia (2014); Factual Nonsense, Red Gallery, London (2014) and Sunday in the Park With Ed, Display Gallery, London (2014).
Dr. Roberts says he mostly thinks about "love, love lost and love lamented" when he's making art and that he's looking for "satiation... but only finds adolescent anxiety, emotional crisis and a broken heart in romantic ideals". . The pathos in his expressive figurative paintings and video installations often seem to consider our search for completeness, our desire for connectedness; our longing to fit, blend, merge or wed another. He says his practice is influenced by Roland Barthes’ 'A Lover’s Discourse', some of the work of Merleau-Ponty, hollywood love films, narratives of popular music, garments and fashion, and visual trends in social media blogging cultures. More recently, he's been thinking about Simon Blackburn's notion of 'Hobbesian Unity', 'mutual give and take' and reciprocal actions in 'lust/love'. His work has been presented nationally and internationally including at the International Symposium of Electronic Arts Japan, Superdeluxe Gallery Tokyo Japan, Artoll Germany, Annexe Gallery Malaysia, Nanyang Academy of Fine Art Singapore, Susak Biennual Croatia, Ozone Belgrade, APT London and Vyner Street Gallery London. His work is in several private collections in the UK, Europe and South East Asia.
Dr. Roberts born in Germany in 1972 in a British Forces Services Hospital. He grew up with his Cornish family in East Cornwall and was the first of his family to attend further and higher education.

This annual programme places practicing artists and UEL Professional Doctorate in Fine Art students into an intense two week residency in an open studio complex. The artists work, eat and live in the accomodation and are tasked with producing a new body of work during their time there. The programme is designed to enable the studio environment to provide a mentorship experience at the highest level of Fine Art study. Artists have included Cedric Christie, Ivan Lam, John Stephens, Tracey Moberly, John Stephens and Slobodan Trajkovic. Directional Forces also undertake occasional residency and exhibition projects. These have included Pravac Sila at O3one in Belgrade 2014 in partnership with Belgrade Academy of Fine Art, co-curated with Slobodan Trajkovic and the Colony 55 residency at the 2013 Venice Biennale at the Sale Docks.
