Montague, Original
Montague is from Charlotte Roseās 2023 solo show in association with Enter Gallery, The Shakespeare Tobacco Company.
The show continues Roseās exploration of the Machiavellian branding tactics used by companies to sell dangerous products. By evoking classic literature, Rose compares Shakespearean tragedy with the conflicts between cigarette company and consumer.
In Montague, Rose immortalises the House of Montague, one of the feuding families featured in Shakespeareās Romeo and Juliet. By pairing this nod to the play with cigarette branding, Rose muses on the addictive effect of both love and tobacco.
The original oil painting on wood is hand-finished with gold leaf and subframed. It comes signed by the artist.Ā
