"To symbolise her personal views and thoughts, this female portrait has enhanced eyes, designed to invite in the viewer in to her world. She is shown here highly decorated, adorned in lace and gold leaf. Maybe her younger self wasn’t so confident, maybe her older self will be more content? Outer decoration often shields our true self. The representation of Antique lace investigates time looking back. with the wings moving forward." 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.
