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 them to persist.
The backdrop in brief
Rose Marimon, also known as Rosy Myart, is an Australian visual artist working exclusively in black and white. With a background in graphic design and shaped by the raw energy of the 1980s, she carried those formative influences into her art practice, which she began in 2003. In 2005 she abandoned colour, choosing black and white as the most direct way to express urgent ideas and translate difficult truths into art. After a long pause, she returned to establish The Rosy Myart Project, an ongoing body of work that holds a deliberate tension between chance and control, offering a raw and honest challenge to social and environmental complacency.
