Roy Lawaetz's style is seen as a unique contemporary niche that is fresh and at the same time layered with cultural re-affirmation potent. With its archaeological base of the Caribbean’s Taino Indians as a fountainhead of inspiration the artist often combines modern age thinking and elements and components in his structural pieces. In 1996 he was the first invited artist from the U.S. Virgin Islands to represent his country at the prestigious Biennale de Sao Paulo. He has participated in world class juried exhibitions in museums such as the Castle Grimaldi, Cagnes-sur-Mer, France, the Grand Palais, Paris, and the Documenta Halle, Kassel, Germany.
