General Information

Tutors

Rose Robson

Rose Robson is an artist, working in sculpture and drawing. Her work simultaneously celebrates and parodies the seductive language of architecture, product design and cartoon logos. Satirising the evolution of her own consumer behaviour from childhood through teenhood to motherhood, Robson tells stories of fragmented personalities and first world neuroses manifesting as primal desires.

Rose has exhibited in New York, London, Denmark and Japan. She studied BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, completed her MFA at Chelsea College of Art and her PGCE at UCL. Rose has been a short course tutor at West Dean College since 2014, and more recently became a tutor on the Foundation Diploma in Art and Design.
