“Stéphane Roy is a visual artist, curator and artistic director.
He currently lives and works in Brussels.

Artistic practice – With a Master 2 in Art Sciences from the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne in 2012, Stéphane emerged from a chaotic childhood to rebuild his life through art. He began his artistic career at a very early age through drawing, street art and then video performance. From then on, he became interested in certain forms of human tension, in their relationship with people and the world.
Using a conceptual and narrative approach based on the iconicity of the complex Being, he is now developing a multi-dimensional body of work exploring forms of introspection of the Self in society, particularly from a behavioural and relational point of view, whether on an individual or community scale. A number of recurring themes feed into his research, such as the phenomena of resilience, the expression of drives and phantasmagorical manifestations.

Stéphane’s work has been published in a number of media and exhibited in various institutions (Palais de Tokyo, Centrale for Contemporary Art, donaufestival, etc.).
He also lectures at various schools, universities and art academies (Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts de Bruxelles, La Cambre, ULB, etc.).

Stéphane’s work has been published and exhibited at many different places. For a full overview, please click here.

Curator & Artistic Direction – As artistic director and curator, Stéphane manages a number of institutions within which he organises solo and group exhibitions of both emerging and internationally acclaimed artists. In fact, it is the emerging art scene that is the focus of most of his attention and most of his current activities.
Working for both private clients and public institutions, Stéphane joined the City of Brussels’ youth department in 2018 to help launch a new local institution: the Tour à Plomb cultural and sports centre.
The centre offers a wide range of activities, including programming exhibitions by local artists such as Ariane Loze, Claude Cattelain, Katherine Longly, Céline Cuvelier, Elise Peroi, Mothmeister, Robin Wen, Lionel Pennings, Rami Hara and Antoine Grenez.
Remaining very active as a freelance artist, his personal curatorial research ties in with his artistic preoccupations with the complexity of the human being in society.
