Painter Rose Wylie is guided by instinct rather than rules

"Contrast gives life. I think a painting needs life." Meet painter Rose Wylie, who, at the age of 91, is guided by instinct rather than rules. She embraces contrasts, uncertainty, and difference, seeing art as a living process where curiosity and contradictions shape the work. In her Kent studio, Rose Wylie is surrounded by towering piles of discarded newspaper, brushes and paint.
