Christian Rosa
Christian Rosa is a Brazilian-born artist known for his very sparse, abstract paintings which are built up from individual shapes and marks amid large expanses of raw, untreated canvas using charcoal, oil paint, resin, and pencil, as well as large abstract sculptures.[1]
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Rosa lives and works in Vienna and Los Angeles.
Personal life
Rosa was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was educated in Vienna, Austria, where his parents moved to when he was still young.
He studied under fellow fine artist Daniel Richter at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.[2]
In 2021, he was accused of stealing and partially forging a Raymond Pettibon painting.[3][4]
Exhibitions
Rosa first began exhibiting in Vienna in 2008. He had his first major gallery solo show at Contemporary Fine Arts in Berlin, Germany, in May 2014, " Love's gonna Save the Day"[5] during Berlin Gallery Weekend, soon followed by a major solo show at White Cube Gallery's Mason's Yard location in the historic St. James district of London. “Put Your Eye in Your Mouth"[6] opened 20 March 2015.
In 2014/15, he exhibited frequently throughout Europe, the United States, as well as South America, finishing his exhibition year with White Cube's solo show " Mais que nada" in São Paulo, Brazil. [7]
He has participated in several international art shows, including the Venice Biennale "Momenta" in 2013, as well as the Brucennial 2012[8] in New York. Though he grew up in Europe, his background made him an important[9] ambassador in a major group exhibition at Saatchi Gallery in 2014, “Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America”. In 2020, he continued with participations at Arken Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj, as well as Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich.
Projects
Rosa is the founder and prime artist behind "Grande Vista".[10] This project involves a unique artist in residency program in an attempt to expose emerging artists to curators, galleries, and collectors in Los Angeles.
Rosa was the executive producer for "A Wonderful Cloud",[11] a film about exploring a former romance written and directed by Eugene Kotlyarenko. Only barely fictional (Kotlyarenko and his costar were once a couple), A Wonderful Cloud had its world premiere on 15 March at the 2015 SXSW festival.
In 2018, Rosa teamed up with Baker Skateboards on a limited edition series of bespoke skateboard decks featuring his ubiquitous compositions. [12]
