CV
Statement
Dion Rosina is a Dutch Afro-Caribbean painter. His work often begins with collages made from a variety of images, which he manipulates and reassembles into his paintings, a working method heavily influenced by sampling which can be found in HipHop music. Rosina is interested in how different themes, ideas, and visuals can influence one another through the act of assembling, which mirrors life itself, where everything is interconnected and constantly shaped through interaction.
Rosina began his practice in 2020. Since then, his work has been exhibited at institutions including Museum MORE, museum Rembrandthuis, Drents Museum, and Museum Catharijneconvent, as well as Documenta Fifteen in Kassel. His work is on view At Buro Stedelijk in the exhibition #52 TO BE DETERMINED were artistic interventions are explored in the semi-public space. The exhibition runs until 23 October.
