Christian Rosa — Fuck it or Pack it
Christian Rosa

Fuck it or Pack it

"Fuck it or Pack it" by Christian Rosa is a dynamic mixed-media work that layers oil, charcoal, pencil, resin, and rabbit skin glue on canvas, resulting in a richly textured surface that feels both raw and deliberate. Rosa's signature gestural mark-making weaves together fluid brushstrokes, scratchy linear elements, and translucent resin passages, creating a sense of energetic tension and spontaneous decision-making. The work embodies Rosa's broader practice of balancing control and abandon, inviting the viewer to sit with the restless, unresolved energy embedded in its construction.
