Matthew Rose – The Storm (2024, Original Collage, 23 × 30 cm, Signed on Paper)
The Storm (2024) is an original collage by Matthew Rose in which elliptical structures at the center of the composition radiate outward, intersecting fragments of monochrome landscapes, architecture, and birds. At the heart of this visual arrangement sits a fantastical bird collage, from which lines and cut-outs ripple across the surface, generating a dynamic, storm-like movement.
The work exemplifies Rose’s mastery of visual poetry, balancing structural beauty with symbolic depth. Its carefully orchestrated composition conveys narrative and temporal layers, quietly engaging the viewer’s subconscious while maintaining a serene surface presence.
