the artist

Born in South Africa and raised in Zambia, Central Africa, his painting career started in 1972. Roy Schallenberg has exhibited in many parts of the world, including Australia, Canada, Israel, Germany, England, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Venezuela and throughout the United States. He immigrated to the United States in 1976 and is now residing in South Florida and northern Michigan.

Schallenberg finds great excitement in discovering and working with different dynamics and synergy of paint, creating flows and movements unique to his vibrant style. The abstract and expressionist paintings are pure energy and represent only themselves in meaning and significance, reflecting the mood and understanding of the viewer. With airbrush, palette knife and brush, the artist weaves color, texture, and aura into a fantasy of brilliance and spontaneity. Always innovative on his artistic journey, Schallenberg has created a dynamic sculpture collection, using the same strengths and flow found in his paintings.

The Schallenberg style affords patrons the opportunity to accumulate a diversified and ever changing collection of the artists widely acclaimed work.
