The exhibition Under the Rose by Marisa Adesman features seven paintings, representing over two years of work, rich in narrative and detail. The works utilize hundreds of layers of glazing to create a glass-like surface, reminiscent of Dutch still life painting but with a contemporary approach. Adesman’s technique captures hyperreal elements with meticulous focus, bridging theatricality and narrative complexity. The title symbolizes secrecy, as Adesman transforms traditional domestic themes into depictions of disobedience and emotional tension.
Adesman's paintings represent the culmination of over two years' worth of work, drawing on the tradition of Vanitas with a focus on emotional logic and visual tension.
The exhibition's title, Under the Rose, derives from the Latin phrase sub rosa, symbolizing secrecy and transforming domestic spaces into stages for private disobedience.
