Artist Stacie Rose’s works—on paper, on panel, and on the wall—combine painterly gesture with an array of screen-printed motifs. The result is a dynamic interplay between graphic sensibilities and the bold gestural hand of the artist.
Rose’s work turns an eye toward organized systems and the unpredictable impact humanity and nature can have on those systems. The abstractions recall otherworldly landscapes and architectural references that address our relationship to the environment, objects, materials, and images that surround us.
The visual language of Rose’s work enlarges and contracts, scaled to the dimensions of her surfaces, all while maintaining a degree of vastness, independent of these scale-shifts. Employing the use of singular large brushes with multiple colors, Rose’s painterly marks weave in, under, and around larger blocks of flat color, creating a structural sense of space and a sensation of speed through her use of overlapping and erasure. This call- and-response between sense and sensation, the painted and printed, consistently creates a balance of opposing forces in each work.
Rose has lived and worked in Atlanta since 2008. She has shown in Atlanta at Poem88 Gallery, Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia (MOCAGA), Swan Coach House Gallery, Kibbee Gallery, The Zuckerman Museum of Art, Barbara Archer Gallery, Mason Fine Art, Marcia Wood Gallery, Mason- Scharfenstein Museum of Art, and Lamar Dodd School of Art (UGA). Her work is included in numerous corporate and private collections around the country. Projects include large scale paintings in CODA Tech Square, and the MARTA’s Arts Center Station. Stacie earned a BFA from Pratt Institute in New York and is a fellow of The Hambidge Center for Creative Arts & Science.
