Le Roy Art Gallery is the world’s first 3D Gallery.<br />

Recently opened and a newcomer for the Artists Open Houses<br />

<strong>2019</strong>, le Roy Art Gallery is situated in a three storey 1780’s<br />

fisherman’s cottage. The building, restored back to its former<br />

glory, is an ideal setting for Sara le Roy’s darkly humorous fairy<br />

tale painting series 3D Tales.<br />

Old school red/blue 3D glasses need to be worn to see the effect<br />

which allows visitors to explore through narrow corridors and<br />

stairs at their own pace, to interact with paintings in a whole<br />

new way.<br />

le Roy portrays fantasy characters with a twist, Disney but not<br />

as we know it. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Tinkerbell<br />

find themselves in the disenchanted here and now, wandering<br />

through mental wards, hospitals and crime scenes. Her work can<br />

be understood as a gothic, yet modern, psychedelic revision of<br />

traditional fairy tales. Gothic pop art plays with love, sexuality,<br />

religion and myths. The dwarves use heroin while Ariel walks<br />

the streets. The 3D glasses augment this effect; we literally go<br />

through the looking glass!<br />

Also on display is le Roy’s new 2D series, Know-Globes. Smallscale<br />

intricate oil paintings on aluminium, exploring otherworldly<br />

dreams and galaxy species in the 4th dimension, trapped and<br />

captured for eternity. As well as original paintings, there are<br />

hand-painted prints available on Foamex & Hahnemühle paper.<br />

Sara le Roy is a Dutch artist living and working in Brighton. She<br />

has exhibited worldwide, including Aeroplastics Contemporary in<br />

Brussels and State-Of-The-Art Gallery in Hong Kong. Nationally,<br />

including the Threadneedle Prize & Royal Society of Portrait<br />

Painters at the prestigious Mall Galleries, London. Her work is<br />

held in private and corporate collections across the world.<br />

le Roy gallery was recently in the press when Hollywood actress<br />

Susan Sarandon visited twice to buy prints.<br />
