Studio 2671: Tremont’s Newest Art Studio

 

Poppies, by Robin Roy

In their retirement, Robin and Aaron Roy are getting a thrill out of the ability to use their new studio space in Tremont to enjoy themselves as they do what they love to do—create. The couple opened their studio space at 2671 West 14th Street in order to have a place where they can create art while connecting with the neighborhood. Their goal with Studio 2671 is to have fun and welcome people in. They are excited to be back in Tremont, a place they more than once have enjoyed calling home.

Aaron Roy’s work includes his BAR CODE series. When viewed from a distance one can only perceive the colored bar code; however, when viewed closely one can “see” the letters that spell the name of the product. Aaron’s paintings are so exact in proportion that the product will be read correctly by a bar code app on one’s phone. His other work includes the BLUE MEN, which are changing sculptures that can be rearranged. These blue men were constructed from southeastern Ohio basswood, and created through custom and detailed cuts made by Aaron.

After forty years as an optometrist, Robin Roy wanted to pursue art. She has studied with many talented artists throughout the country, and also abroad while on an extended tour of China. Her focus is using ink and watercolor on rice paper. Robin chose Chinese painting due to her interest in the philosophy behind the work, and she is dedicated to following the Chinese principles in her work. Every stroke of her paintings is based on ancient techniques.

Studio 2671 does not have regular business hours, but Robin and Aaron are there often and encourage everyone to stop in when they are working to see and purchase their art. Or, call to arrange a visit. The Roys live nearby and are happy to walk over to their studio when someone is interested in stopping by.
