Her paintings begin intuitively, often from a vibrant, layered base, and unfold through reduction, adjustment, and response. The square canvas returns again and again — not merely as a format, but as a grid, a space where balance and tension emerge. The classic 3:4 ratio also recurs, offering an alternative frame in which proportions are explored in new ways. Drips, scratches, and blocks of color become architectural elements: floor plans, walls, openings, boundaries.
Alongside painting, Rhodée creates collages using discarded paper, combining these fragments with ink or chalk. This practice of reuse turns waste into material, layering memory and imperfection into abstract compositions that echo her architectural sensibility.
Tattooing extends these principles into a more intimate, collaborative process — approached as both art and ritual: slow, intentional, and always in dialogue with the body. The designs are intuitive yet refined, often minimal but rich in texture and detail. Each piece is unique, carrying Rhodée’s signature interplay of rhythm, materiality, and space, while leaving room for personal interpretation.
