ROSALIE OAKMAN Painting, Drawing, Textile.
Creative London / Paris.

Rosalie Oakman’s practice moves across painting, drawing, and textile — always returning to the same questions: what does it mean to inhabit a body? What does the body carry, hold, survive?

Working from life, her large-format figurative paintings and drawings trace the tensions between beauty and decay, tenderness and rupture, the delicate and the raw. Her textile works — made in lace, crochet, hand-tufted yarn — treat cloth as flesh, and flesh as evidence.

She has shown at Mall Galleries, Courtauld Institute, Colnaghi Gallery, and the Salon du dessin érotique in Paris. She was awarded the BADA Art Prize in 2022.

Based in Hackney Wick, London.
