The Bear

Artist Roanna Wells is continually interested in the effects of repetition through the study of multiples – whether this is the visual effect of the marks created, or the meditative mindset through which the work is made. This exploration is carried out through detailed mark making processes, usually very ordered and regimented in structure, with a quiet and delicate aesthetic, but often with a depth of concept in the subject matter and inspiration.

You can see her signature practice carried out in the design for Nano Bear. Named as a reference the gold nanoparticles used in medicine that she has used as inspiration. The Bear design quite literally glitters, with it’s white base, covered in repetitive golden marks.
