We were joined by artist Rose Wylie as part of the UWE Fine Art / Art in the City series of lectures.
Rose Wylie studied at Folkestone and Dover School of Art, and at the Royal College of Art. All of her work is centred on paintings and drawings inspired by a wide range of visual culture. Her subject matter varies from ancient Greece and contemporary Egyptian Hajj wall paintings to films, news stories, celebrity gossip, fashion photography and observations of everyday life.

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; 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.
