Visual Art – Sydney
Sarah Rose is an emerging Sydney-based artist and curator, currently a Masters of Curating and Cultural Leadership student, attending UNSW Art & Design. Rose completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2017. Rose’s conceptually based works reflect her interests into the facets of personal and public identity, particularly the sense of self, human duality, and human perception within our contemporary contexts. Through a cross- disciplinary practice she questions who we are and what is integral to our sense of being, using predominately portraiture within surrealist and experimental modes of sculptural printmaking and photographic representations. Most recently, she exhibited in ‘MORE THAN REPRODUCTION’ alongside an all-female identifying print collective at AD Space, Sydney. Previously, Rose was commissioned to create a site-specific sculpture for Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park to feature at the opening of their Military Memorial in July 2016, and in 2017, Rose had the opportunity to assist Internationally-recognised artist Hayden Fowler.
Rose has an inherent fascination in the gallery space and art curation, arising from her curiosity into how audiences interact within contemporary viewing spaces, and specifically how these experiences can be controlled, manipulated, and speculative in milieu.
