Artist Bio

Adee Roberson

Adee Roberson (b. 1981, West Palm Beach, FL) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work is a meditation on symbolism and texture. Synthesizing performance and installation, her work melds vibration and technicolor visions through paintings, video, and melodic compositions. These works offer a refracted timeline of black diasporic movement, weaving sonic and familial archives, with landscape, rhythm, and spirit.

Roberson has exhibited and performed at numerous venues including Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, UTA Artist Space, Contemporary Art Center New Orleans, MOCA Los Angeles, amongst others. Select exhibitions include A Project Curated by Artists: 15 Years of ACP, Morán Morán, Los Angeles, CA (2024); With or Without You, America, organized by Jova Lynne, Temple Contemporary, Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA (2022); Adee Roberson and Azikiwe Mohammed: because i am that, curated by Essence Harden, California African American Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2022-23); Brave New Worlds: Explorations of Space, organized by Mara Gladstone, Palm Springs Art Museum (2019); Adee Roberson, Women’s Center for Creative Work, Los Angeles, CA (2019); black is a color, curated by Essence Harden, Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2017).
