Clare E. Rojas (B. 1976)

Clare Rojas’s seminal figurative paintings draw heavily on folk art tradition, as her bold colors and contours are reminiscent of woodblock printing and other accessible forms of image-making. In line with this way of working, Untitled (Interior with girl, bear and banjo) from 2004 depicts what is likely to be a self-portrait, given that Rojas is also a musician who plays the banjo.
