"This collaged painting combines a photograph of an original Victorian photo card, the female sitter has had a ‘facelift’ with a new portrait painted over the top, creating layers of time. She is adorned with a headdress and ferns, which are often symbolic of eternal youth, love and growth." Roo Abrook
Roo Abrook’s painted collages on wooden panels combine
acrylic paints, digital prints, spray paints and gold leaf with striking layers
of history. The works often integrate original Victorian photography and vintage
magazine advertising, reimagined through bold colour and contemporary collage
techniques. This fusion of vintage imagery and modern materials creates a
distinctive artwork that bridges past and present in a unique, collectible
style
