About
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 music and visual culture of the 1980s, she began her art practice in 2003 and shifted to black and white in 2005. After a period of experimentation, Marimon re established her practice. A practice shaped by experiences of the world, from everyday encounters and connections to broader social and environmental pressures. Her ongoing body of work is The Rosy Myart Project.
Working from her studio at Strathnairn Arts, Marimon exhibits across regional and independent spaces, with her work held in private collections.
Marimon’s Detours writing series runs alongside her visual practice as a space for reflection and observation, informing her approach to process and making.
WORK
Marimon works mainly on paper, and occasionally on board and canvas. She builds each piece until she is satisfied the message is clear. She prefers to work in unpolished, real world places, where the work can evolve on its own terms.
THEMES
Work that focuses on daily life, and the social and environmental realities we tend to normalise, ignore, or are mostly unseen.
LANGUAGE
A reduced visual language, used to keep the message blunt:
-
White on black
-
Red element as anchor
-
layers, erasure & redaction
STUDIO
Based at Strathnairn Arts,
Canberra
