Slade Roberts' work is inspired by the Minimalist movement as he had a love for modern and minimal art for years before he even began to create. Slade works in a variety of mediums including, acrylic paintings, photography, and digital artwork. While his work varies in medium, style, subject and theme, the thing they share in common is a contemporary minimal graphic look. The majority of his works are clean and minimal; incorporating linear elements, geometric shapes, and high contrast colors; or as Slade stated, "Whether it be in color or subject matter; the concepts are minimal with graphic elements, high contrast, and a hint of 3D perception."
