Becky Rose is a contemporary landscape artist based in the South of the UK. Since graduating with a BA in Fine Art from University College Falmouth, she has had various group shows along the South Coast and Wales. Becky has been shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and the National Open Art where she has also been an Artist In Residence. 

 

Becky is drawn to wild skies and mountainous landscapes, using her work as a tool to explore an emotional and historical connection to an environment that provokes many physical adventures and mythical stories. It is within the mountains that Becky finds her fortress of solitude, restoring connections from what has been lost and gaining both grounding for the soul and inspiration for her work.

In her paintings there is always a sense of a wild place in all its elements, whether this is strickingly obvious or in a more subtle abrstract manner. Creating a feeling of distance and familiarity is also an important part of Becky's work, underlining her intrigue into the unkown of a wild world that has so much to teach us whilst still feeling very much part of it. When working on her paintings in the studio, drawings and notes are put to one side, allowing her memory and emotions to be a primary source. This way of working allows Becky's paintings to grow organically and natural like the main focus of her subject matter, thus creating ephemeral qualities and feelings of memory rather than a detailed representation.

This fascination of the wild elements of the natural world were imbedded into Becky at a young age, with yearly trips into the mountains of North Wales, that were filled with plenty of adventure and possibilities. The mountains have now become a second home, providing her with clarity and endless inspiration,
