Description
Rose Wylie RA (b.1934) is an artist whose remarkable career has evolved over several decades. This monograph marks the first comprehensive exploration of her artistic journey, from her re-engagement with painting in the early 1980s to her current practice.
Wylie's large-scale paintings draw inspiration from a wide range of visual culture, including contemporary Egyptian Hajj wall paintings and Persian miniatures, as well as films, news stories, celebrity gossip, and everyday life. Through a unique blend of imagery and personal elements, Wylie creates direct and wry commentaries on contemporary culture.
This book offers an important contribution to our understanding and appreciation of Rose Wylie's work, drawing on extended interviews with the artist. Clarrie Wallis provides a nuanced exploration of Wylie's visual language, shedding light on the complexities of her artistic practice.
