French artist Jean Claude Roy’s vibrant, expressive landscapes have generated a significant following in France, Eastern Canada, and the United States. While Roy’s paintings are already part of more than 100 Ontario art collections, this artist’s work is available in Ontario exclusively through The Bartlett Gallery.
Roy describes his style as "expressionist-colourist"; he works most frequently in oils and with a palette knife. Characteristic of his landscapes are evocative skies that include stylized suns. Roy found that putting a sun, initially a black sun, in the sky added light to the painting, and the technique has come to form an important part of the composition of each work.
Roy's art can be found in various private and public collections including the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Courvoisier-Cognac, France, and Musée St. Pierre et Miquelon. |

Newfoundland artist Louise Sutton’s paintings combine ideas and emotions about landscape and humanity. The Bartlett Gallery has several fine examples of this artist’s landscapes, which combine turbulent forces of sea, sky, and earth.
Sutton’s award-winning paintings have been featured in group and solo exhibitions in Newfoundland. Her work reflects her fascination with the process of creating art and energy and the hope that comes with the birth of a new idea; the struggles in creating and the difficult emotions therein. I am always seeking that quiet rare place of contentment that arrives when a piece fully resolves itself on the canvas |

Artist Statement
When painting I search for a mood expressed in gesture and poses that inspire me. I particularly focus on conditions that are alienated and desperate. Expressing raw body language is my main subject matter. What I am striving for is to use the symbolism of gesture to represent the struggle of existence. |
