Women II (2022) Painting by Rocha

The art of Rocha contain stylised worlds, where action, geometry and perspective create a colourful dissonance. The figures in her paintings, playing out stylised narratives, encourage an emotional and symbolic reading as they intersect a network of unconscious elements. In the contemporary realm of painting, artists often dabble in styles inspired by past artistic movements. One genre that has particularly strong roots in the past is landscape painting. Other genre that has strong roots in the past is abstract painting. The influence of landscape and abstraction are apparent in the Rocha's work. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time. Abstract art, non-figurative art, non-objective art, and non-representational art, are closely related terms. They are similar, but perhaps not of identical meaning.
