ABOUT THESE IMAGES
PRIOR TO VISITING THE BRAND NEW JERWOOD GALLERY IN HASTINGS, I’D NEVER EVEN HEARD OF ROSE
WYLIE AND, TO BE HONEST, WHEN I FIRST SAW HER WORK I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING A SCHOOL
CHILD MIGHT HAVE PRODUCED. HOWEVER, WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE WAS ACTUALLY 78, I THOUGHT I’D TAKE
A CLOSER LOOK. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? SOMETHING ABOUT HER WORK BEGAN TO APPEAL TO ME. IT WAS A
COMBINATION OF THE COLOURS, THE SPONTANEITY OF THE BRUSHWORK AND THE MIX OF CARTOON
CHARACTERS AND SCRAWLED HANDWRITING. AND THE MORE I LOOKED, THE MORE I LIKED. SO MUCH SO
THAT I DECIDED TO SHARE HER WORK. THOSE OF YOU WHO FOLLOW ME WILL NOTICE STRAIGHT AWAY THAT
THESE IMAGES ARE UNTREATED, INDEED THEY’RE RIGHT OUT OF THE CAMERA. THE ONLY THING I’D SAY, IS
THEY ARE ALL SECTIONS OF ROSE’S PAINTINGS, NONE ARE THE COMPLETE FRAME. I WAS ONLY AT THE
GALLERY FOR A FEW HOURS AND AT THE TIME I’D CHOSEN ONLY TO HIGHLIGHT THOSE ELEMENTS OF HER
PAINTINGS WHICH I PARTICULARLY LIKED. LATER I FOUND OUT ROSE IS NOW BEING TALKED ABOUT AS ONE
OF BRITAIN’S BEST UP AND COMING ARTISTS. I THINK SHE IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL
PAINTERS I’VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME AND WHILST HER INDIFFERENCE TO PERFECTION IS COUNTER-INTUITIVE
AND THE OPPOSITE OF MY OWN APPROACH TO IMAGES, THERE’S SOMETHING REFRESHING ABOUT THE NIAIVE
WAY SHE PAINTS AND THE SUBJECTS SHE CHOOSES TO PORTRAY. I ALSO THINK HER WORK IS VERY
COMMERCIAL AND CAN EASILY SEE HER CHARACTERS APPEARING ON MERCHANDISE AND EVEN BEING
TURNED INTO ANIMATED STORIES. IF THIS GLIMPSE INTO ROSE’S WORK HAS APPEALED TO YOU, THEN YOU’LL
NEED TO GET DOWN TO HASTINGS TO SEE THE PAINTINGS FOR YOURSELF!
