Naast enkele figuurstukken en portretten bestaat Roovers’ oeuvre voornamelijk uit landschappen en bloemstillevens. Zijn landschappen zijn expressionistisch, felgekleurd en geschilderd met impasto penseel. Hij was bevriend met de schilders Hendrik Chabot en Herman Kruyder, die eveneens in de expressionistische traditie werkten. Zij hebben zijn werkwijze zeker be\u00efnvloed. Ook zijn er onmiskenbare overeenkomsten met het werk van De Ploeg. In het buitenland werd Roovers “een Hollandse expressionist van formaat” genoemd. Hooibergen en korenschoven zijn terugkerende thema’s in Roovers’ landschappen. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen de kunstenaar ondergedoken zat op verschillende adressen in Groningen, bleef hij schilderen. Het Groningse landschap is dan ook een onderwerp in zijn werk. Roovers putte ook inspiratie uit het kubisme, mogelijk gestimuleerd door zijn verblijf in Frankrijk.<\/p>\n
