Artist Statement/Bio

I am an interdisciplinary artist working at will in a wide scope of visual interests, moving within nonobjective and figurative content. It is my practice to manipulate materials, take risks and intuitively improvise within each painting.  In essence, it is a daily practice of doing, seeing, learning and thinking. My oeuvre can be categorized by bodies or series which are finite or continuing and have distinctions that influence current work. 

Larry Roots is a full time painter and sculptor who resides in Omaha, NE. He earned his B.A. in painting from the University of Northern Colorado where he was named the 2005 Alumni of the Year in the visual arts. He is the owner/director of Modern Arts Midtown Art Gallery, shows regionally and nationally, and is in corporate, public and private collections including the Sheldon Museum of Art, the Museum of Nebraska Art and the Sioux City Art Center, Iowa.. .
