After completing a substantial project in Russia, entitled Motherland, Roberts brought his attention closer to home.  With renewed interest in the relationship of individuals and groups to the landscape, Roberts focused on social practices, customs, cultural landmarks, economic and political scenarios that define his \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsmall island\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as uniquely British. With echoes of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dchistory painting\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, these photographs point to contemporary issues specific to Britain, but equally engage with universal ideas of the human relationship to landscape, of identity and belonging. Landscape Studies of a Small Island is presented as part of the UK Russia Year of Culture in 2014.  The exhibition is curated by Karen McQuaid from The Photographers' Gallery, London.
