rosalie is internationally renowned as a stage and costume designer. The Stuttgart artist is known for her opulent imagery replete with magnificent colours, which she uses to virtuoso effect in the fields of the performing and the visual arts. One of rosalie’s trademarks is bright, gaudy colours and a sophisticated use of curious utility items. A constantly recurring theme in her work is the link between art and nature, which is also featured in her installation in MUSEUM RITTER. rosalie also picks up on the programmatic topic of the museum - the square - on a formal level: she has packed seven times seven square panels together into a jazzy wall installation. The motifs show flowers as well as abstract serial and monochrome images made of Perspex granules applied in a kind of bas-relief. Each panel follows on associatively from the last and invites the viewers’ eyes to a delightful voyage full of romantic associations. Beside this she has placed a work by François Morellet that emits a cool neon glow.
These two artistic theses on the square could scarcely be more different: an inquiry into the basic geometric form drenched in white light by the artist François Morellet living in Cholet, and the wall installation by Stuttgart-based artist rosalie, an opulent cornucopia of colours and flowers. For all their obvious differences, one assumes that some point in common must have led rosalie to link her work with that of the French Minimalist: it is their humorous approach to the myth of the continuation of creation with the means of art.
