Matthew Rose – Pop One (2015, Original Collage, 21 × 27 cm, Signed on Board)

Pop One (2015) is an early collage work by Matthew Rose, showcasing his emerging style of image disruption and visual juxtaposition. The composition overlays two circularly cut birds atop a fashion magazine portrait, obscuring the subject’s identity while subtly evoking emotional tension and relational dynamics.

This piece exemplifies Rose’s signature approach of transferring and fragmenting imagery, reflecting a street-art-like immediacy and rawness distinct from his later works. Despite the delicate magazine-paper support, the work maintains strong visual presence and integrity, suitable for framing.
