FEATURED ART
Reality is harsh and uncomfortable.
Rosy's art doesn’t shy away from the truth. Neither should you.
Not just art [a statement]
I create black and white abstract drawings and paintings, occasionally using a single red element as a clue or anchor. The work is my response to the world around me, spanning everyday details and human connections through to wider societal and environmental concerns. Each composition confronts hidden, forgotten, and ignored truths. It is both my way of digesting these realities and an invitation for others to question the lies and deceptions of modern life that allow such realities to persist.
The backdrop in brief
Rose Marimon, also known as Rosy Myart, is a Canberra-based visual artist working exclusively in black and white. Trained in graphic design and influenced by the visual culture of the 1980s, she began her art practice in 2003 and first turned to monochrome in 2005. After a period of experimentation and reflection, she re-established her practice through The Rosy Myart Project, a body of work that explores environmental and social tensions through layered abstraction.
Working from her studio at Strathnairn Arts, Marimon exhibits across regional and independent spaces, and her artworks are held in private collections. Her Detours writing series extends her practice through reflections on process, perception, environment, and society.
