Clare Rojas’s sparse but striking paintings are partly inspired by traditional quilt making. She plots her canvasses with crisp geometric shapes and brilliant colors. Her work often features folkloric tableaus, which she uses to deconstruct traditional gender roles. Also prevalent in her practice are series that meditate on a particular, repeated form. Rojas also illustrates children’s books and creates photobooks of her work. She is a member of the Mission School in San Francisco, where she lives with her husband, artist Barry McGee.

Rojas received her BFA in Art from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has been the recipient of the Project Space Residency and Tournesol Award from the Headlands Center for the Arts, an Artadia Award, a Eureka Fellowship Award, and a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Grant. Recent projects include a site-specific commission for the Art in Embassies Program in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico; a two-person exhibition with Barry McGee at the Watari Museum in Tokyo; and a solo exhibition at the Alice Gallery in Brussels. The artist’s work is featured in the permanent collections of the San Jose Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, and the Berkeley Art Museum, among others.
