MEL ROY
Mel Roy’s work moves beyond representation and explores the less acknowledged aspects of our nature. She’s interested in the horror within, and the sides of ourselves we often choose to hide, or pretend don’t exist. She is also interested in belief systems, and how the power of belief can motivate us do extraordinary things.
‘The gure in art has always been my driver, making works that
move beyond direct or a realist representation, and into another state. Pictures with emotion, often without a clear narrative, where the gure although changed is less perfect, more real and although altered, unadulterated.’
