Collage
"Illustration-collage is a technique I am passionate about and use often," says Christian. “I design and create as a way to help people attempt self-realization in their own life as they draw conclusions centered around my illustrative collages.”
His technique is quite simple yet tedious. After coming up with a concept, Christian searches for found objects he can latter combine into a single illustration - such as this cuckoo clock. His entire work process takes about twelve hours to complete.
A Fine Line Between Illustration and Textiles.
Christian takes full advantage of his background in textiles. Here he is collaging hand dyed fabric. 9
Finishing Touch
When he places the final touch on each piece, it's time to photograph them to a two dimensional plane. Christian is able to do this in his at home studio.
Voilà, a day in the life of Christian Roy.
In some ways, his work is a fine line between Primitive and Neo-expressionist. Christian considers his work strong in concept, rough around the edges, and extremely decorative - all at the same time. His three dimensional work seems more child like, making a powerful impact on the eye. There is usually a strong concept behind the work which also makes it Neo-Expressionist.
