About The Artist
Using vivid geometric shapes and patterns reminiscent of quilt work, Clare Rojas creates narrative paintings focused on the relationships between men, women, society, and nature. Unlike many of her contemporaries, Clare Rojas explores the traditional and often subordinate roles of women without sexual exploitation or overt eroticism, making her works both poignant and enjoyable. Melding craft and fine art with unparalleled verve, Rojas produces witty work that is part Bauhaus, part Bonanza.
Rojas is the recipient of a Project Space Residency and Tournesol Award from Headlands Center for the Arts, Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant, Eureka Fellowship Award, and an Artadia Award.
