Jeff Roland (born 16 June 1969 in Longeville-lès-Metz, Moselle, France; died 14 August 2024[1]) was a French artist and curator, known for his characteristic bold, colourful pieces fusing aspects of the raw style with contemporary literary and visual references. He was part of a group of artists known as neo-outsiders,[2] [3] a term coined by Dr. Melissa Westbrook, as a result of her research into the developments of outsider art in the 21st century, and the impact of the internet and social networks on contemporary art.

He has exhibited in several countries in Europe and was recently invited to show his work at the University of Nancy[6] in France.Roland also curated for the city of Liverdun, and organized shows at Chateau Corbin, specializing in outsider art.
