At first glance, the paintings of the British artist Rose Wylie (OBE order of the British Empire Winner, b. 1934) are extremely simple and seem to have nothing to do with any artistic style or genre. However, after careful study, people will feel the artist's careful observation and delicate meditation on the essence of visual expression.

Her works give full play to the unique visual vocabulary, the frankness and straightforward perspective of cartoon images, and at the same time reveal a profound rebellion against art history and painting tradition.

Willie studied at Foxton and Dover Art College in Kent, England when he was young, and returned to art school at the age of 45. 198 1 graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. The 85-year-old Wylie has never lost her creative enthusiasm and exhibition frequency.
