"Toujours la différence"
This is how Fabienne Eggelhöfer quotes the British artist Rose Wylie (*1934) in her text, which she begins with a visit to her studio. This is a phrase that she has repeatedly heard from Rose Wylie in conversation, as one detail can ultimately make all the difference and completely change a drawing or an oil painting. In her large-format canvases, a quickly applied stroke seems to predominate, but "la différance" in particular requires a lot of work. The book "Rose Wylie: Flick and Float" presents the non-conformist and fascinating work of the British artist. Her unique artistic practice and wide range of subjects have earned her worldwide recognition. Wylie's large-format paintings are a mixture of figurative representation, abstraction and picture stories. Expressive, direct and with subversive humour, they bear witness to the artist's engagement with pop culture, literature, history and personal experience. Wylie's artistic language is deliberately simple and reminiscent of the aesthetics of Bad Paintings and Post Pop. With works from the last thirty years, the catalogue offers an insight into the unbridled work of an artist who transcends conventional boundaries and occupies a unique place in the contemporary art scene. In addition, individual paintings were painted especially for the exhibition in Bern and are now being presented to the public for the first time, just as Juergen Teller's photographs, in their unmistakable style, introduce us to the artist's completely different world.
