Gladstone Gallery is proud to debut a series of recent paintings by Rachel Rose, which will be on view from March 13 through April 25, 2026.
The exhibition officially begins with an opening reception hosted at the New York 64th Street location on March 13 from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
This new body of work draws significant inspiration from the metaphorical nature found in historical devotional paintings of the Holy Family’s flight to Egypt.
Rose utilizes these historical references to deepen her ongoing exploration of themes related to maternal protection and the hardships of displacement.
The artist focuses her compositions on central allegorical symbols such as still water, the ibis, stone, the edge of the forest, and the moon.
By examining how images serve as a scaffold for our beliefs, these works highlight the intrinsic link between physical land, history, and fantasy.
Born in 1986, Rachel Rose is a New York-based multidisciplinary artist who works across the mediums of film, painting, sculpture, and drawing.
