Portfolio of 66 lithographs - Size: 42 x 62 cm. (each)

Things Around the House (66 pc) by Rose Wylie, a limited edition portfolio of lithographs from 2016, is a playful and eclectic collection capturing mundane household objects through Wylie’s distinctive, childlike drawing style. The portfolio includes 66 individual prints, each featuring a unique black-and-white sketch of various everyday items—ranging from furniture and utensils to abstract shapes and simple portraits. Wylie’s approach transforms these ordinary objects into quirky, almost whimsical representations, inviting viewers to see familiar items from a fresh perspective. Her use of bold, simplified forms emphasizes spontaneity and immediacy, while the repetition and variety across the series create a rhythm that celebrates the charm of daily life. Part of an edition of 20, this portfolio reflects Wylie’s unique ability to find artistic value in the overlooked details of domestic life.

Rose Wylie (UK, 1934) is a celebrated British painter known for her bold, large-scale canvases that feature playful, cartoon-like imagery. Her work often draws inspiration from pop culture, daily life, and art history, with a distinctive, childlike aesthetic that challenges traditional notions of composition and technique. Wylie’s unique style has gained her acclaim in contemporary art circles worldwide.

Imperfections give energy to a painting—it shouldn’t be too tidy.
- Rose Wylie

Renowned for her vibrant, often child-like imagery, Rose Wylie is a painter whose works are often large-scale and created on unstretched, unprimed canvas; depicting various subjects ranging from cultural iconography to hybrid forms, Wylie has acknowledged that the primitive nature of her art can be difficult for some people to comprehend ‘but then they find that actually there’s stuff in it relating to Dürer and Cézanne’. Among the works that best capture her signature style are Queen of Sheba with Gold Lump and Black Stork, both of which also feature her trademark illegible scrawling, further emphasising the absurdity and wry humour of the final image presented.

Artwork by Raymond Pettibon

What is Comic Strip Art?

Comic strip art refers to artwork that utilizes the subject matter and commercial printing techniques found in comic strips. In the 1960s, a group of artists began creating paintings that incorporated Ben-Day dots—commonly used in comics and advertising—to produce highly graphic designs in bright colors, using traditional art media.
