Rosemarie on her work:
My drawings are created by containing and controlling firework explosions. I bomb blank sheets of paper with different fireworks including color smoke bombs, jumping jacks, monster balls, rings of fire, and lasers. As I work, I create imagery by controlling the chaotic nature of the explosions in upside-down containers. When the paper becomes saturated in color, dark and burned, I take it back to my studio and collage blank paper circles onto the image to establish new planes and open up the composition. I then continue to bomb the pieces. These actions are repeated a number of times. The final works contain many layers of collaged explosions and are thick and heavy.
Be sure to check out this video of Rosemarie explaining this work further.
fascinating medium to work with, would love to view more of your work!
I like your work so much that I plan on attempting to adopt the technique in some of my next pieces. Not sure why “John” above is so negative. Negativity does nothing for moving people forward or having individuals respect your thoughts.
These pics are first a shock factor of WOW! and then OH MY GOD THESE ARE AWESOME!
so rad!
It is not pleasing to the eye…appreciate your creativity ..but the finished work is ugly…sorry, I would like to say, I liked it…
I will honestly say, your artwork is the most unique i have seen in this day and age. You are a talented woman and its projected through the process of your creations, but also in the final product. I admire your creativity and ability to go beyond the walls of the box! keep on rockin’ at what you do!
It’s fantastic work!
How the heck did that idea come about? Amazing!
Very creative. I love it.
Great concept. Great execution. Very nice work.
