Alice Rose

Alice Rose creates ceramic mirages- crafted vessels that flicker between depth and illusion.

Alice Rose is a ceramic artist best known for her Mirage series- sculpted vessels that blur the line between object and illusion. By applying two-dimensional drawing techniques to three-dimensional forms, she creates works that appear to flicker between flatness and depth, tricking the eye with painted light and shadow.

Influenced by Op Art and Pop artists like Roy Lichtenstein, Rose fuses traditional ceramics with bold, graphic deception. Each piece is meticulously crafted and painted in her Dunedin studio, inviting viewers into a playful, perceptual puzzle.

Trained in ceramics at Medway College of Art in the UK, Rose now exhibits her work in select galleries across Aotearoa, New Zealand.
