Margo Rose’s dreamlike paintings set themselves the task of capturing the nature and geography of spaces both terrestrial, and extra-terrestrial. Merging elements of science fiction and surrealism, Rose takes cues from Color Field painters to highlight and exaggerate the other-worldliness of nature to bring her audience closer to her often dreamlike subjects.
Ecological principles are central to Rose’s method, preferring to create her own materials from self-recycled sources where possible.
