G A L L E R Y 106 is delighted to announce a group exhibition titled
“CLOSE UP: Ethereal”

Participating artists are 
Sarah Ollerenshaw, Angelika Spranger,
Rose Long, Ale Dini.
This exhibition is an integral part of the Hammersmith and Fulham Arts Fest. The artists participating in this exhibition found inspiration in the life that surrounds them, depicting the world by using well-balanced colours, and carefully chosen objects of attention; whether using brush or camera, through narrative about the nature, home and memories, they strive to create sense of harmony and belonging.

Rose Long has contributed to this exhibition with four paintings that are most representative of her colour, style and technique that she currently uses in her art practice. From precise line to complete abstraction, impassioned with colours from nature, with a great sensitivity she creates a feeling of order in landscape while she stays true to her authentic style. She instinctively creates the space between the defined and the non-figurative allowing the viewer to create their own experiences within. Long examines colour and tone together with the texture, form, edge, shadow and layering of paint on canvas to emphasize the convening of paint, air, form and canvas.

Rose Long is an artist and architect. She paints in oils and acrylic. Brought up in South Africa, she lives in London since the mid 1980's.  She has practised as an architect since the early 1980's and continues to do so, while concentrating increasingly on painting. She has discovered a passion for painting in oils as it allows a freedom of expression she has not yet found in another medium. She exhibits widely.

    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.
