Artist
Rose Wylie
Rose Wylie (b. 1934, UK) is a contemporary painter whose work only began to receive attention and critical acclaim late in her life. Wylie works on large-scale canvases using cartoonish, child-like imagery rendered in expressive marks, sometimes inspired by art history or pop culture such as movies and television. Wylie finds inspiration for her visually compelling paintings through her daily encounters and a variety of sources, from art history, cinema, comic books and the natural world to news, verbal anecdotes, celebrity stories and sport. These might include a scene from Quentin Tarantino’s iconic Kill Bill films, a self-portrait of Wylie eating a chocolate biscuit or a football match. Her vibrant, large-scale canvases filled the walls of the Serpentine North Gallery. Wylie often paints through the filter of memory and impression, using text to enhance facts and recollections and editing images by overlaying new pieces of canvas over images, like a collage. At times, the compositions of her paintings are informed by cinematic techniques, whether the multiple headshots of Sitting on a Bench with Border (Film Notes) 2008, based on Pedro Almodóvar’s 2006 film Volver, or Wylie’s two paintings from the 2005 film Syriana, which take in a panoramic and close-up shot of the same scene.
