Acrylic On Canvas
Roy Close is Quandmooka, Butchulla, Jirrbal and South Sea Islander artist living and working on Jagera land. At the age of 17 he began to paint, inspired by the abstract art and Aboriginal art he was introduced to by friends and family.
“Art gives me something to do, my art relaxes me. I give to people through my artwork.” - Roy Close
Roy translates his ideas about the world around him into art, with the concept of connectedness driving his compositions. Roy’s use of colour, composition and pattern depicts his ‘voice’, the strength of his culture and artistic practice.
