Press Release

British artist Rose Wylie was born in Kent in 1934 and studied art at the Dover School of Art and Goldsmith University. After marrying fellow artist Roy Oxlade and raising three children, she entered the Royal Academy in 1981 and started to pursue her own art career once again. Rose Wylie began to draw attention at the age of 70 when she was first being represented by art gallerist Jari Lager. Wylie has held exhibitions at major museums around the world and has been more active than ever since recent years, as one of the top artists at the David Zwirner Gallery.

Rose Wylie is famous for her large-scale works that reorganise images created through her own filters of our common memories, culture and experiences. The artist’s visual sources—her own personal history, world history, animals, plants, news, advertisements, movies and celebrities—vary widely and her works are created through her own perspective, although anyone can easily approach them and feel their familiarity. Rose Wylie understands the essence of the object of observation and completes the work by adding her unique physicality, accompanied by colourful memories and emotions. She incorporates all the events that occur in the process of working into her creation. Canvases are added, overpainted, or stacked, even attached and expanded to one and another, and some are completed with bare hands. The meaning of correction carries a different definition in the world of her work, as her artistry can be seen as a kind of time capsule that can preserve the artist’s physical time, and even reveal the process of creation without filtering.

About the Artist

Rose Wylie studied at Folkstone and Dover School of Art, and at the Royal College of Art. All of her work is centred on painting and drawing. Wylie represented Great Britain in Women To Watch, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington D.C, 2010. Her first retrospective exhibition was held at the Jerwood Gallery, Hastings, 2012, and was followed by her BP Spotlight exhibition at Tate Britain, 2013, which led to museum shows in Philadelphia; Tonsberg, Norway; Wolfsberg, Germany; Tal R’s Project Space, Copenhagen; Space K, Seoul; and the Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin. Lund Humphries are planning a monograph on her painting, to be historically and contextually positioned by Clarrie Wallis, Curator at Tate. She received the Paul Hamlyn Award in 2011 before winning the John Moores Painting Prize in 2014 and Charles Wollaston Award in 2015. She has been invited to meet and talk with students in the invited significant artists series ‘Artists Promenades’ at the Royal College of Art and given talks on her work at The Slade, Goldsmiths, Wimbledon College of Art, The Royal Academy Schools, The Royal Drawing School, John Moores Liverpool, the ICA and Tate Britain.
