James Rose Professor Art & Art History
Biography:
While Rose describes his work as being direct and figurative, the dynamic that emerges from his large-scale drawings is anything but simple. Creating primarily self-portraits, Rose uses his own image to navigate controversial issues related to race, struggle, spirituality, and sexuality, among other things. The artist aims to convey the complexity of his thoughts through subtle yet bold changes in the formal qualities of the artwork.
