William Rosewood Art

William Rosewood is a talented artist who discovered the world of art when he was little. He was always exploring new things, designing and looking for solutions. When Rosewood was 16 years old he started his own clothing business. Having no business experience beforehand, he had thrown himself into the deep end, working on meetings, sponsorships and promotion on his own. When he turned 17, he attended the Willem de Kooning Academy. Here Rosewood learned the artistry in commercial image-making. Whilst he graduated in February 2015 as an illustrator, he doesn’t have many fond memories of his time at the academy. Rosewood became rebellious towards the simple-minded ideas that were generally accepted. Assuredly he went against the grain and maintained and created his perception. He developed a particular interest in exploring and pushing the limit of what is possible. This expressed itself not only in painting but also in experimenting with different materials. Rosewood developed a characteristic style in which he combines the usage of unconventional materials such as blood with large visualizations. Rosewood’s strength can be found in his ability to combine art with his entrepreneurial skills. He takes pleasure in working together with different artists, focusing on their expertise whilst creating art together. In June 2015 Rosewood began to work on his first exhibition, “The Richness of nature we destroy.” This series focuses on nature’s strength that often is underestimated and forgotten. Here Rosewood combines death with 24-carat gold to symbolize the resurrection of nature’s richness.
