Natalia Rose has developed an expressive, semi-abstract visual language. Characterised by a gestural, impasto-like application of paint and intense spontaneity, her work is reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism.
Natalia Rose translates the influences of the early Russian avant-garde and Central European Expressionism into a contemporary visual language imbued with Nordic lightness. Her compositions draw their vitality from the emotional impact of pure colour and the dynamism of the brushwork, which is detached from purely representational reality. The dominance of vivid, highly pigmented primary colours, which contrast emotionally with one another, is unmistakable. Although the works are highly abstract, associations with nature and landscape remain.
Rose deliberately leaves parts of her paintings incomplete or overlays layers so that they appear unfinished. This open composition disrupts rigid details and encourages viewers to actively engage with the work.
