Rosie Snell’s work features a variety of subject matter, with a consistent focus on conflicts and contradiction within landscapes, both natural and manmade. Currently based in Oxfordshire, she completed her Masters in 1995 at the Norwich School of Art and moved to London in 1997 to take up the Florence Trust Studios residency. Her work is held in a number of private collections and has been exhibited in London, Milan, Norwich, Bristol and Berwick. She is a senior lecturer at Bath Spa University.

Rosie’s alienating landscapes bear the inscription of a disconcerting past. There is no human in sight and her subjects, presented at considerable distance, show a deserted inactive scenario. Nature feels as an extension of human loneliness.

Looking closer at her paintings one discovers that various textures such as sand for soil, rust and aluminium strips are applied in the oil-based medium, revealing unforeseen layers to the original smoothness.
