English willow charcoal on 160gsm paper, approx. A4, 2025.💫
"Formed through breath, gesture, and movement, Rose Kara’s charcoal lines flow across the page—guided by 185-million-year-old rocks she collected from the Jurassic Coast in Devon. These intimate drawings weave together her dual practice as artist and sculptor, echoing the material themes of her larger wool works while offering a meditative presence in their own right".

ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛ:
Lea Rose Kara is a multidisciplinary artist working across drawing and sculpture. Her practice draws conceptually from biology, archaeology, and epistemology, exploring ecology and the manipulation of nature through materials such as wool, resin, bronze, and chalk. Her recent works investigate materiality, gesture, and the contemplative potential of breath and movement, creating images that exist between the physical and the ethereal.
She holds an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art () (2022), a BA (Hons) from Bath Spa University () and also studied at City & Guilds of London Art School (). She has completed residencies at Porthleven (2019, Prize Winner), the Freud Museum (2021), and Standpoint Gallery (2022). Awards have taken her to Italy for glass, print, and sculpture collaborations, and in 2018 she undertook a mentorship with British sculptor Julian Wild, supported by the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association.
Rose Kara has exhibited nationally and internationally in solo and group shows including “In Between” at RuptureXIBIT, London (), MIXTAPE at Pi Artworks (), “Brighten up the Night” at the Yuan Art Museum, China, and projects with Hypha Studios (). This year, she contributed to The Courtauld Institute () symposium, “Distilling Reality: Artists as Alchemists”.
