Rose Wylie's New York debut at Thomas Erben Gallery showcases a septuagenarian's raw, monumental paintings
Rose Wylie's exhibition, "WHAT with WHAT," is currently on display at the Thomas Erben Gallery in New York, running until November 13. This marks her first solo show in the city and features a collection of her striking oil paintings created over the past 17 years. Wylie, who lives in rural Kent, England, is in her seventies but her art pulses with an urban vibe, reminiscent of a mix between Miss Marple and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Her work, characterized by a raw aesthetic, reveals surprising depth. She only had her first solo exhibition after turning sixty, embodying the spirit of a late bloomer. Wylie is also represented by Union in London and was part of a recent group show at Timothy Taylor Gallery. The gallery is located at 526 West 26th Street, Fourth Floor, New York City, and can be contacted at 212 645 8701.
