Rose Wylie

Rose Wylie is the third artist to participate in an exhibition collaboration between the Royal Academy and The Gallery at Windsor, Vero Beach, Florida. This book accompanies her show and features an interview with the artist by Tim Marlow, Artistic Director Royal Academy.

The exhibition comprises new paintings and drawings that are wittily observed and subtly sophisticated meditations on the nature of visual representation itself. Using images as a prompt, Wylie often works from memory, and the associated works on a single subject offer an insight into her complex creative process. Often originating from drawings, her paintings are an exploration of the in-between spaces of modern life and memory. "You can't manufacture a painting," she says, "and you can't manufacture the interest that begins a painting".
