Viac o knihe

In this book we are introduced to a fascinating visual world created by one of our most exciting and intriguing British artists, Rosa Sepple. Yet behind her playful scenes and cheerful characters is a darker narrative echoing the artist's own life, a picture of childhood upheaval, beset in later years by depression and a debilitating condition diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. Against this background we are brought to discover greater meaning to Rosa's seeming lighthearted and flirtatious images, transporting her work from its apparent naive status into paintings that contain far more depth that first meets the eye. It is this aspect of the artist's work that Adrian Hill explores in his introduction to this book. Based on interviews with the artist he teases out some of the mysteries behind the images.
