Sophie Roach

SOPHIE ROACH was born in Indiana in 1988. She is a multidisciplinary visual artist who uses familiar models and forms, and her own intuition, to create a unique visual language based on spontaneity and rhythm She began painting murals in the city where she grew up, Austin, in 2013. Since then she has made large-scale works all over the States and abroad, also collaborating with international brands like Hermés, PayPal, Facebook, Google and Starbucks, among others. The themes of her wall pieces stem from her practice in the studio, where she makes intricate paintings and drawings. Dando priorità ai segni intuitivi piuttosto che ai progetti pre-pianificati, il suo lavoro colorato e astratto cerca di riflettere la diversità e la ripetizione di un giardino, di una città o di una canzone – tutte cose che sono riconciliate con le loro forze interiori. She finds inspiration by thinking about models of order, growth and destruction of our shared languages, in the constructed environment and the natural world. Sophie Roach’s work combines abstract style with a taste for contemporary graphics. In her large murals, it is as if the painting of Paul Klee has met with traditional American illustration, in a union between geometry and visionary worlds.
