Rose Wylie Survey Exhibition at the Royal Academy

Presented in the Main Galleries, this exhibition will be Rose Wylie’s largest survey exhibition ever to take place in the UK. One of the most notable and intriguing artists working in Britain today, Wylie’s work draws from a diverse range of references that include art history, ancient civilizations, literature, cinema, celebrity culture, and current affairs. Her large format paintings and works on paper chronicle the times she has lived through, documenting everything from her experience of the Blitz as a young girl, to more quotidian events such as an exhibition opening or a game of football, and feature a cast of characters that include Nicole Kidman, Elizabeth I, and Snow White. This exhibition will bring together some of Wylie’s most iconic pieces with previously unseen and new works.
