A Rose is a Rose is a Rose

Guffogg's "A Rose is a Rose is a Rose" series draws inspiration from Gertrude Stein's famous sentence, exploring the complexities of perception and identity.

Inspired by his orchard and rose garden in Central California, where he finds. Guffogg's paintings echo Stein's philosophical inquiry into the multiple meanings of a single word or concept. Through vibrant colors, intricate lines, and lyrical shapes, Guffogg's works invite viewers into a dialogue about perception and interpretation.
