Gary Roberts is the most talented realism artist I've ever known. I met him in personal in the late 2010, and been his big fan since then.
According to wikipedia, realism in the arts may be generally defined as the attempt to represent subject matter truthfully, without artificiality, and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic and supernatural elements. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realism_(arts))
With over 30 year’s experience. He has concentrated on still-life, native and other birds, and other subjects from the area on which he lives, on black canvases, overlooking the Manukau Harbour in Auckland.
Here are some of his brilliant paintings:

| The Rigging |
 |
| Amongst the branches |
 |
| Driftwood by Moonlight |
 |
| Branching Out |
 |
| Pot of Gold |
 |
| On the wire |
Can you see all the amazing details he did? It's incredible, isn't it? In 2012, he won Clifton Art Prize, Auckland NZ, and he was one of top 10 Artist around the world finalist. Well done Gary!
