Viewing Rose Wylie at David Zwirner

The inimitable British painter Rose Wylie returns to London this week with her latest body of works, going on show at David Zwirner. Jennifer Higgie describes Wylie’s world as “not neat” but embodying something “very human”, and it is this chaotic, exuberant, vitality that makes Wylie so unique as an artist.

In this exhibition, titled ‘When Found becomes Given’, new and recent canvases and multipanel works blur the realms of the personal, symbolic, and historical—inhabiting real and imagined timelines, confusing our sense of any linear chronology (much like life itself). Colourful and witty, these paintings reveal Wylie’s recent formal interest in composition. Depicting apparently disparate things and often referencing history, contemporary culture and dreams, these paintings appear to hum and whir with their own wonderful rhythms.

This show is a taster of what is to come at the Royal Academy of Arts next year, when Wylie will have a major solo exhibition across the main galleries.
