Roy Lerner (1954-2023) Born in Chicago, Illinois) was an internationally exhibited American painter.

Lerner attended Franconia College where he studied with the artist Peter Bradley. Early in his career Lerner was a gallery assistant to the British sculptor Anthony Caro. In 1987 he exhibited in a group exhibition the Fall Invitational at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut with Ross Bleckner, Barry Le Va, Keung Szeto, Gary Stephan, and Deborah Remington.

Lerner was a member of the New New Painters a group of artists brought together by the first curator of modern and contemporary art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Dr. Kenworth Moffett (1934-2016), in 1978, contemporaneously with the further advancement of acrylic gel paint as developed by the paint chemist Sam Golden. Lerner is also considered a trailblazer in the visual genre of hypertexture.

Lerner taught at the Katonah Art Center and in 2019 he spoke and conducted a workshop at the Stamford Museum & Nature Center in Stamford, Connecticut.
