Rose’s paintings reflect directly the manner of their making. Flat on their backs, his aluminum panels are first toned with thick wet layers of varnish into which Rose introduces oils and dry pigments, which disperse within the varnish. To an extent, the paintings compose themselves through a hydraulic process that Rose initiates, which he can, at this point, anticipate, but which he does not fully control. He refers to this as “the natural processes of the materials.”
The forms in his work, which are suggestive of both marine life and microbiology, among many other associations, are entities specific to him. “The forms in the paintings are bursts, not like nuclear explosions, but things that have this energy,” Rose says. “With the mediums that I use, it turns that energy into something concrete. I wanted the ceramic pieces to be flowering from the inside out.”
