About the Artist
Jean Claude Roy was born in 1948 in Rochefort sur Mer, France, and knew from the age of seven that he wanted to be an artist. Roy describes his style as expressionist-colorist and works most frequently with oils and a palette knife, and in recent years his paintings have become larger and more densely colored.
Jean Claude is most easily recognized by his use of interesting depictions of the sun in his landscape paintings. This followed a discovery that by incorporating the sun – initially a black sun – in the sky, light was added to the painting. This has now become an important part of the composition of each of his works.
Jean Claude Roy is represented exclusively stateside by the Kessler Collection Grand Bohemian Galleries.
