Rose & Roy

Rose & Roy(2015) is a feature-length documentary by Adolfo Doring about Rose Wylie and her husband, Roy Oxlade, who met at art school in London in 1957. Filmed primarily in the couple’s rural English cottage where Wylie still has her home and studio, Rose & Roy explores their lives and work in 2014, the year Wylie was awarded the John Moores Painting Prize—once called "the Oscar of the British painting world." The documentary includes interviews with Wylie, Oxlade, and two of their children, and mentions exhibitions at Tate Britain (2013) and the then upcoming show atJerwood Gallery in Hastings, England (2015). "She can turn knowledge and acute observation somehow into work which accepts those apparent facts, and yet then switches, through metaphor, into a new thing," Oxlade says of his wife’s paintings in the film.
