I
would like to show you some pieces that caught my eye this week like these beautiful
oil paintings Series π = ∞ , IV 2016 from
the artist William Rosewood. It is his second collection.
William’s explanation
about his paintings are: ‘These paintings symbolize the core of humanity. He embraced
the thought of how humans are all the same yet still differ from each other. To
show that you are still unique in this world The Tancho Koi Fish represents
yourself. All Koi swim in the same pond or for ourself the world. “π = ∞” like
the World in the Universe is endless. Back to the world and all living species
on it. So different but yet the same’. More information about this inspiring
artist, see the text below as well as the direct link to his website.
More about
the artist William Rosewood
William Rosewood, a talented
twenty-three year old artist. He discovered the world of art when he was
little. He was always exploring new things, designing and looking for
solutions. When Rosewood was sixteen years old he started his own clothing
business. Having no business experience beforehand, he had thrown himself into
the deep end, working on meetings, sponsorships and promotion on his own.
When he turned 17 he attended the Willem de Kooning
Academy. Here Rosewood learned the artistry in commercial image-making. Whilst
he graduated in February 2015 he got his bachelors degree in fine arts, he
doesn’t have any fond memories of his time at the academy. Rosewood became
rebellious towards the simple-minded ideas that were generally accepted.
Assuredly he went against the grain and maintained and created his own
perception. He developed a particular interest in exploring and pushing the
limit of what is possible. This expressed itself not only in painting, but also
in experimenting with different materials. Rosewood developed a characteristic
style in which he combines the usage of unconventional materials such as blood
with large visualisations.

Rosewood’s strength can be found in his ability to
combine art with his entrepreneurial skills. He takes pleasure into working
together with different artists, focusing on their expertise whilst creating
art together.
In June 2015 Rosewood began to work on his first
exhibition: ‘The Richness of nature we destroy’.This series focuses on nature’s
strength that often is underestimated and forgotten. Here Rosewood combines
death with 24 carat gold to symbolise the resurrection of nature’s richness.
After his own Exhibition in Miami called
Goldrush the 25th of february he experienced a lot of attention for a young
artist doing what he loves the most, telling his story through art.
Later this year he travelled throughout the UAE and
produced new collections: PI=INFINITY, She Loves Me She Loves Me Not and Verum
Colores.
Below you will find his upcoming exhibitions:
Concept Art Fair (during Art Basel 2016) and Spectrum Art Fair (during Art Basel) from November 30 till December 4th, 2016.
