“In her sculptures, LA based artist, Ave Rose uses clockwork, antiques, insects, bones and taxidermy ephemera in congress with motion mechanics to produce reanimated, organic robots that tend more towards rococo than science fiction. Incorporating precious gems and metals, her creatures are whimsical amusements that practically breathe with artificial life.” -Matt Kennedy, Owner of Gallery South, Former Director of La Luz De Jesus Gallery
“Her works are characterized by compelling double-effects, blending beauty with the bizarre, technology with tradition, and youthful whimsy with the cold, mechanical realities of death. Behind all of the clockwork, darkness, and hints of satire, Ave’s creations celebrate life by fearlessly confronting themes of a macabre nature.” – Hayley Evans, Beautiful Decay Magazine
“The work of Ave Rose is like alchemy. Even though it can be seen as macabre, it has a positive energy that shines through the darkness a type of power full of light and beauty.” –Decadence Darling, Beautiful Bizarre Magazine
“Ave Rose’s art seems to examine the theme of creature vs. machine but instead of being in a diametric opposition, her supernatural, juxtaposing creations work together in a harmonious state of coexistence.” -Sara Elise Abramson, Amercian Art Collector Magazine
“From dolls to fashion, jewelry and animatronics, multidisciplinary artist Ave Rose, exhibits a wide variety of work that honors surprisingly opulent and sometimes horrific specimens. But don’t be quick to assume she is glamorizing death. Ironically, her art breathes new life into an old form and captures a moment in time.” -Caro, Juxtapose Magazine
