Rose Barberat French, b. 1994

Rose Barberat (b. Jura, France) lives and works in France. She graduated in Modern Literature with a Master degree in creative writing from the University of Cergy-Pontoise, and from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Barberat presented her work at Galerie PACT in 2021 and 2023 and at Steve Turner Gallery in Los Angeles in 2023. Her work has also been exhibited at MOCO La Panacée in Montpellier in 2023, at Galerie JO-HS in Mexico City and Poush Clichy and Aubervilliers where she has also been resident.

Her painting questions contemporary issues of representation.

Her figurative and realistic paintings, conceived as objects of contemplation, discuss the idea of staging and provoke a shift, a gap of our impression of reality. Her work is an invitation to see painting as a link with cinema, literature and, more generally, with fiction. Her paintings are contemporary dystopias, and the images offer a plurality of readings and interpretations.

Color plays a part in modifying the initial impression produced by the scene depicted. Creating a poetic, dreamlike dimension.

Each series and color is an opportunity to narrate the world. A variety of subjects can be the travel, the marvelous of tales, the Odyssey or even everyday life.

Rose Barberat's theatrical paintings play on immersion and experience through color.
