Artist
Rose Electra Harris
Rose Electra Harris is a London based artist and print-maker based in Peckham. Growing up with an antique dealing father, Rose has always been surrounded and intrigued by antiques and textiles. Decorative objects such as vases, chandeliers and free-standing baths are common motifs in her work.
Rose's Style
Her vivid palette and distorted images give these compositions a dreamlike quality. Trained in print-making at the University of Brighton by Tom Hammick, Rose's manipulation of the print medium is clever and unique; she has mastered a deliberately sketchy and uncalibrated technique which gives her work an essence of transience and the surreal. Her original artworks often mix media to create a riot of texture and colour on the page. However, her eye for strong composition and use of perspective never make these works feel cluttered or over-worked.
Rose's work is a celebration of design and beauty in everyday objects. She has a formidable eye for using surprising yet effective colour pairings with a sureness and clear natural impulse.

"I want people to feel joy when they look at my work. There's a lot of anxiety in the world we live in and via my work I hope that they can escape that and feel happy, if only for a moment." - Rose Electra Harris
Drop 2 - Spring / Summer 2020
"I collected these old Pastis bottles on holiday last summer in Corsica and felt such a strong desire to draw them at the beginning of lockdown. Their unusual shape and the memories they evoke really galvanised a new free way of working and I felt I could just place them in endless dreamlike settings." - Rose Electra Harris
