This large-scale atmospheric abstract measures an impressive 80” x 90” framed and is presented in its original slim gold frame.

The composition is expansive, serene, and architectural in presence, with layered washes of blush, mauve, lavender, cream, celadon, pale gray, and soft ochre. Roberts creates a luminous abstract field that feels both ethereal and grounded, with delicate gestural markings, veiled color transitions, and subtle textural variation across the canvas.

At over 7 feet wide, Temple has exceptional scale and visual impact, making it ideal for a large living room, entry, dining room, gallery wall, boutique hospitality space, or contemporary interior project. The palette is especially well suited to today’s interiors, offering a sophisticated balance of softness, movement, and quiet drama.

This work is accompanied by a 1986 appraisal signed by the artist, valuing the painting at at that time. The signed appraisal provides meaningful provenance and documentation for the piece.
