Jason Roberts is an Australian realist painter with more than 35 years of experience travelling, observing and painting the natural world. His work has been exhibited internationally, including in New York, London, Tokyo and Hong Kong, and is represented in distinguished public and private collections, including those of the Sultan of Oman, the Maharaja of Jodhpur, the State Library of Victoria and Government House Melbourne.
Working predominantly in oils, Jason is known for his finely detailed wildlife and animal portraits, particularly horses, alongside landscapes, birds and other subjects drawn from his extensive travels. His paintings combine meticulous observation, traditional realist techniques and a deep appreciation of the natural world.
A finalist in numerous Australian art prizes, including the 2026 Paddington Art Prize, Jason has spent much of his career working directly from life and undertaking field research across Australia, Africa, Asia and beyond.
His current major undertaking, The Golden Monkey Project, is an ambitious series of paintings exploring China’s extraordinary primates and mountain ecosystems, developed through field expeditions and collaborations with conservation scientists.
Jason also welcomes private commissions, particularly equine portraits, wildlife paintings and other animal subjects.F
