Professor of printmaking
John Roberts: Keene, NH
Professor John E. Roberts has taught at printmaking, drawing, foundation design and painting at Keene State College since 1981. He received his MFA from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale in 1977. Over the last 23 years, his personal engagement with printmaking has focused upon the intaglio process. While he has have taught almost every printmaking process during his career, it is in the intaglio medium that he has done the most research.
Professor Roberts is currently working on a series of large drawings and etchings that utilize found objects (primarily corroded metal from automobile exhaust components) as starting points. The work takes full advantage of the organic ambiguity of these unusual pieces of rusted metal. Not only do he draw from these but in many cases he has been able to actually ink and print the objects as part of the etchings and monotypes. The resulting prints and drawings are highly abstract images but reflect uncertainty in their form and conceptual meaning.
