    Rose Long is an artist and architect. She practiced as an architect since the early 1980's for over 35 years. She has increasingly concentrated on painting and design.
    She paints in oils and acrylic. 
    She was brought up in South Africa and has lived in London in the UK since the mid 1980's.  

    Rose paints in collaboration with two partners – Water and Gravity.

    The elements of chance and complex variability, that these introduce, allow her work to become an interplay of intention and the often unexpected result of the laws of physics.

    Using this technique, she explores the character and emotion behind the façade of her subjects, be they human or otherwise.

    These subjects sit in an energetic atmosphere comprising of light and shadow in space. Her chosen palette is often limited, using the varied tones in one hue. Combinations of complementary colours to achieve greys are added and then washed away. The Golden Mean and the Fibonacci integer sequence, ratios that are very pleasing to the eye, are frequently used in the composition, canvas size and placement of subject matter. Patterns emerge in the work and marks are made with varying intensity, revealing an aspect of the mood and a version of the underlying reality of the situation.

    The progression in her work is evolutionary, not radical. Each piece informs the next in technique and expression. The pieces are becoming more allegorical.

    Using the medium of paint feels as compulsive and empowering for Rose now as learning to read was for her as a child.
