Roy is pioneering a form of artwork that is unique in scale and implementation. First, he paints on industrial sheets of brass, aluminum and stainless steel. Then, using a grinder, he removes the paint and reveals the brass to create the illusion of depth and movement. Each piece is completely smooth and can be touched.
Roy began working on metal when he entered the world’s largest art contest – ArtPrize. Since then, Roy placed in the Top 25, 30 and 50 out of 1800 international artists, receiving over a quarter million public votes.
Roy is a graduate of Calvin College in Grand Rapids. He is an author, inventor, innovator, and pastor. He inspires with his words and his work. Roy has designed unique works for both residential and commercial buildings.
Roy starts with a solid sheet of metal either brass, aluminum or stainless steal.
Then he will mount it to a stretcher bar and sand the front of the metal.
Then after a self etching primmer is applied he will paint with outdoor acrylic paints and give it one final coating of automotive clear coat.
Nope. All the work is custom and a studio is rented out for each project.
