Ro Ho Fro (b. 1996) is a Welsh artist based in Glasgow.
Painting and the languages it has created for us are the root of Roanna’s practice. Her work places emotive gestures within a context that compares them to the land in which they are set, allowing the environment itself to become a gestural character. When her theatrical compositions meet the natural, a myriad of uncanny moments between the choreographed and the unruly emerge. The weather's direction is comparable to a written line; this intersection being a fundamental aspect of her work. The letters she writes are often rearranged in sentences articulated by the wind.
As a filmmaker as well as a painter, she makes costumes, props, and backdrops for her film productions, which often make their way into her paintings. Her practice can be seen through the lens of a theatre production; the paintings and films work together, and all the parts involved are crucial to the whole. Combined ideas around the natural and the theatrical are a way to translate a synonymity between chaos and order.
