About this title

Synopsis

The first monograph on the compelling young Brazilian painter Christian Rosa
features a selection of his most recent work in graphite, oil and spray paint.
Born in Rio in 1982 and now living and working in Los Angeles, Rosa studied at
the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna with Daniel Richter. His current pieces on
unprimed, rough, beige canvas are minimal with colorful loops, craquelures,
erasures, and carelessly painted bubbles and squares. His extremely reduced
repertoire is reminiscent of Cy Twombly, one of the most enduring American
abstract painters. Rosa also calls on the Empire of Signs, initially determined
by Roland Barthes for Twombly. In addition to Oscar Murillo and David Ostrowsky,
Christian Rosa is considered a rising star in contemporary art today. An exhibition
catalog out of the CFA Berlin with essay by German writer and curator Roberto Ohrt.
