Rose Ras - Solo Exhibition

Rose Ras is a visual artist born in Haiti in 2001 and a graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux- Arts de Paris (2025).

Her practice is structured around a physical, hands-on engagement with wood, which she approaches both as a material and as a subject of investigation.

In her work, she seeks to translate powerful climatic and telluric forces into pictorial form. To do so, she does not limit herself to painting: she drills, incises, carves, glues, covers, shapes, and cuts into her panels using a router. This process mobilizes her entire body in a circular movement that becomes the trace of a lived force. Through layering and chromatic intervention, her works explore states of rupture and transformation, where matter records the impact of the gesture.

She digs through an initial image to reveal an unreal geography of reliefs. Her paintings thus operate within a constant tension between control andinstability.

At the core of her research lies a reflection on explosions and the disturbances generated by human activity. She does not treat these phenomena as mere spectacle, but as conditions that reconfigure our environments. Her inspiration draws both from everyday observations and from her travels.
