REINHARD ROY is associated with the Konkrete Kunst movement. His work is characterized by an emphasis on geometric forms and a meticulous attention to detail. Roy’s art often features precise lines, shapes, and patterns, arranged in a way that creates an optical illusion or a sense of movement. He prefers bright, contrasting colors that add depth and vibrancy to his compositions. Roy’s style can be seen as a continuation of the principles of Konkrete Kunst, which prioritize the visual qualities of art over any representational or symbolic content.

Within a formal rigor, he succeeds in lyrical surprises: thus, a raster image that at first appears prosaically can represent an atmospheric landscape when viewed for a longer time, or an object in the form of a ellipse transforms into something mysterious.

Reinhard Roy was born in 1948 in Klitten, Germany. From 1969-1974 he continued his studies at the University of Art and Design Halle – Burg Giebichenstein. From 1984 to 2010 he worked with architects in the fields of art, design and architecture in Frankfurt am Main, Berlin, Bonn and Brussels. In addition to international exhibitions, his work has been regularly featured in OSAS group international exhibitions at the Vasarely Museum, and in 2014 he had a solo exhibition in Veszprém in the Vass Collection of the Modern Gallery.
