Pictured: Rosie McLay painting at the Urban Nature Street Art Festival in Hanover, Germany, 2019 invited by Upfest.
Swapping the needlepoint on etching plates for the big brushes on walls. This Bristol based artist is painting again for Upfest, exploring what it means to be a living thing; capturing the wonder of the human and animal body predominantly through intricate mark making. Her traditional style gives a voice of the past. which is suggestive of the artists choice of a fragile subject matter; death. birth. extinction and growth.
Rosie won't be using spray paints and any materials used will be predominantly from re-used means to minimise environmental impact from the artwork produced.
