ANGLES SUR L'ANGLIN

by: Jean Claude Roy

Angles Sur L’Anglin is an original painting from celebrated French artist Jean Claude Roy (J C Roy). The painting depicts the medieval town of Angles-sur-L’Anglin from behind the walls of Château d'Angles-sur-l'Anglin, a ruined castle within the town’s perimeters. Angles Sur L’Anglin is recognized as one of the most beautiful town’s in France.

J C Roy is an accomplished landscape painter who divides his time between France and Newfoundland. He describes his style as ‘expressionist-colourist’ and works most frequently in oils.

In their profile of Roy, the Harbour Gallery says, “Jean Claude works almost exclusively on site and has frequently done so in freezing and wet weather, often carrying his equipment over long distances in order to find the right spot. It is not uncommon for an insect, a blade of grass, or a flower to find its way into his work, either by accident or purposefully by his own hand.”

“Characteristic of his landscapes are vast, highly coloured, and increasingly abstract skies.”
