Field Trip

at Farm Projects, Wellfleet, MA

July 19-29 2024

Godeleine de Rosamel work reimagines the dynamic forms of nature. Her sculptures and drawings depict flora, fauna, and other organic forms that seem to have emerged from the planet’s deep past or arrived from a distant future.

“ Field Trip” is a new development of de Rosamel’s West Coast work. Created mostly in Wellfleet, these new work embody the fragility and the beauty of the life on Cape Cod. She made slip colors from local clay and has incorporated elements found on her walks and in friends’ yard. She finds ceramic to be a magical material, simultaneously sturdy and breakable. Rooted in appreciation of shapes, textures and colors for their own sake, de Rosamel’s creations speak to the limits of human agency. A tribut to birds crashing into windows,, houses slipping into the sea and coyotes in broad daylight, her pieces help us to imagine a world where nature flourish without us.

In her practice, Godeleine de Rosamel assumes the role of “creator”by sculpting new species to populate her human-less utopia. In this world, politics, gender and suffering do not exist. Instead, the charming, well-fed creatures roam freely through forests and sleep under trees. They reside in an idealized setting, where leisure and tranquility are at the forefront. Through an earthy color palette and each creature laissez-faire demeanor, she maintains a softness and levity in her work. This world is a utopia far from our own, and far from the devastating impacts of human activities on the biodiversity of our planet.

This first solo exhibition at Rose Gallery, Life : Still, highlight the complex role of Godeleine de Rosamel’s forested scenic designs. Bringing her backdrops into the foreground, the exhibition considers the paradoxical symbolism of trees as source of life and forests as a space shrouded in danger and secrecy.

Biotopes

Solo show at Hey There Gallery, Joshua Tree

February 10 - March 12 2020

Stephanie Chefas Projects welcomes viewers into the world of LA-based sculptor Godeleine de Rosamel for her new exhibition, Bouquet Garni. Cultivating a playful and utterly unique aesthetic, de Rosamel’s imaginary creatures impart genuine life-like sensibility. Each one represents the culmination of a completely organic process and thereby exhibits its own sense of continuing evolution. Like our planet’s own inventive life-forms, her sculptures struggle to adapt and strive for perfection as they take on new and unmistakable characteristics.

With her lastest exhibit, Rosamel expands upon her self-realized universe by introducing a biotope of plantsand trees. Creating each plant proved as complicated a process as creating their animal counterparts, with a highly distinctive flourish to show for it. A new chapter for the artist, it gives each creature the chance to hide in the forest and eat local foliage and plant-life. Well, the vegetarian creatures, at least.

As if culled from an illustrated book, the artist’s creations brim with creative whimsy while nevertheless retaining an air of elegant exactitude. Bursting with life, they draw you into a world of endless imagination and perennial possibilities. With the additions of plants and trees, a vivid world becomes all the more so.

Godeleine de Rosamel’s Bouquet Garni will be on view at Stephanie Chefas Projects from July 11th - Aug 4, 2020.

Solo Show at Hey There Projects gallery in Joshua Tree , Dec 2019-January 2020

G + G show at Giant Robot Gallery May 2019 was a collaboration with Gina Zycher, ceramicist working in Los Angeles. We began working together in 2018 as a fun experiment to see what would happen if we altered, added to, and finished each other’s work. What started with a couple of pieces snowballed as more and more ideas came to us. This really has been a special collaboration for us because we feel like our work and styles mesh together so well.
