An original painting by Rose Marie Brøgger
An intense and expressive small-scale portrait exploring themes of identity, anonymity, and human presence. The subject's face is partially obscured by thick, impasto brushstrokes in white and grey, creating a psychologically compelling visual narrative. Built from cool teal and warm flesh tones, the figure stands out against a bold, high-contrast orange backdrop.
Despite its intimate scale, the painting carries incredible visual weight and a raw, gestural energy, making it a powerful statement piece within any modern collection.
Copenhagen based artist Rose Marie Brøgger is a graduate from the Graphic Arts College in Denmark. She works in acrylic paintings on canvas and in digital art printmaking.
Brøgger’s work has themes of transcendence, spirituality, existence, materiality and phenomena. She explores earthly objects and surreal supernatural objects in a simplistic dreamlike yet powerful imagery.
The motives often have the character of being material or composed of matter.
She presents a complex understanding and respect for the elements surrounding us. She has a way of portraying an object that makes it absurd in spite of its actual existence.
The use of dimensions, symmetry and the space within, between, and around objects recurs in her imagery.
Her pieces have a sense of relevance or significance to the now, and she often uses iconography as an examination of our current state of mind. The pieces are in themselves a study of the communication between the artwork and the viewer of a given society, dependent on cultural context.
