Rose Blake is an illustrative artist with a contemporary flare combining fine art with digital media, Blake creates an aesthetic quite unlike any other. Her work is perfectly attuned to colour and compositional technique, achieving an illusion of naivety through exceptional talent and uncompromising skill. ‘Seaside Gallery 1’ beautifully blends the abstract with the figurative, creating a scene from geometric shapes and sharp, angled lines. The focal point of the print is a large painting, hanging on the wall of an art gallery. People stand around, talking and perusing the space, dwarfed by the large, abstract canvas, which depicts different coloured blocks, stacked haphazardly on top of each other. Blake’s print has boundless appeal its strength lies not only in the magnetic charge of the bright palette and clean composition, but in the Chinese box quality of art depicting art. It’s a smart piece, provoking questions about the nature of art through a nuanced naivety and a stunning aesthetic.
