Batutçu, Rosie Irvine

Rosie Irvine’s work has an intriguing, nostalgic charm that hints at stories just below the surface. She has had considerable success with her editorial work and her designs for book jackets. We loved her distinctive pieces, created with a combination of drawing, stencils and stitching, Rosie says, “I like to work by hand and make a mess.” However, she does use a computer to scan and piece together some of her pieces. We loved the slightly fractured ‘coloured in’ feel and the bright colour and merged tonal effects reprising faded family photographs.

RMIT Shift exhibition hosted by Red Gallery

‘Shift’ has been used as the title of this exhibition to represent the students’ journey from ‘novice to professional’ artists. ‘This exhibition is multi-facetted, exploring personal realities that range from hybrids of nature, culture and technology through to notions of boundaries and thresholds’ (Richard Harding, Printmaking Studio Coordinator, School of Art).

Located at Red Gallery, Fitzroy North, Melbourne, this exhibition takes place from December 2-19 and includes work from RMIT graduates who have completed the BA Fine Art and BA Fine Art (Hons) course.
