Roll Hardy

We are pleased to present our third exhibition of paintings by the young artist, Roll Hardy. Proving to be a contemporary Northwest regionalist, Hardy paints what he sees in the surrounding urban scape, responding particularly to places detached from mainstream society. Hardy’s interest in these industrial landscapes and derelict sites comes from their archeological-like mystery, both from their place in history and in their detachment from time and space. Hardy writes, “by attending to places whose very nature is one of neglect, I aim to present a different view where mystery and possibility thrive and change can take hold.” Already an adept painter, this artist is worth following as he explores and develops his distinctive realm.
