Thursdays - Saturdays 10am -4pm

As an artist Rose Bendall strives to create work that combines minimalism with surrealism, mainly through sculpture. Rose enjoys experimenting with themes of repetition, movement and large, physical scale. Playing on simple, geometric shapes and using salient and “ taken for granted “ concepts, such as gravity and balance.

"I set them in an environment where they seem unusual, surprising and at times, concerning. These elements combined with a precise attention to detail, create a sense of bemusement, which I hope invite my audience to feel truly curious, challenging them to consider their idea of reality and the perceived facts which we take for granted.”

"For my upcoming residency at SVA, I am delighted to have the opportunity to develop and finish the project that I started for my final degree project, which due to lockdown restrictions I was unable to complete. It has been very hard to have to put the project on hold for over a year but so exciting to be able to bring it back to life now! “
