In January 2021 Rosa was accused of forging a painting by acclaimed artist [[Raymond Pettibon]]. Sources suggest rosa stole the artwork from Pettibon's temporary studio in Paris before finishing the unfinished piece himself and was offering it on the secondary art market for a 7 figure sum. Pettibon’s studio became alerted to the fact that the work was being offered, and alerted the authorities. It is not clear whether the accusations leveled against Rosa would amount to criminal conduct or whether there is an innocent explanation for how the painting was created and got into his possession.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-01-29|title=Wet Paint: Artist Stands Accused of Trying to Sell a Partially Forged Raymond Pettibon Work & Collectors Lose Billions in GameStop Frenzy|url=https://news.artnet.com/art-world/wet-paint-christian-rosa-raymond-pettibon-1940051|access-date=2021-01-31|website=artnet News|language=en-US}}</ref> |

Christian Rosa (born 12 September 1982) is known for his sparse, abstract paintings built up from individual shapes and marks amid large expanses of raw, untreated canvas.[1][better source needed] Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Rosa lives and works in Vienna and Los Angeles.
Personal life
Rosa was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and was educated in Vienna, Austria, where his parents moved to when he was still young. He studied under Daniel Richter at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.[citation needed]
Exhibitions
Rosa first began exhibiting in Vienna in 2008. He had his first major gallery solo show at Contemporary Fine Arts in Berlin in May 2014, " Love's gonna Save the Day"[2] during Berlin Gallery Weekend, soon followed by a major solo show at White Cube gallery's Mason's Yard location in the historic St. James district of London. “Put Your Eye in Your Mouth”[3] opened 20 March 2015. In 2014/15 he exhibited frequently throughout Europe and the United States.
He has participated in several international art shows, including the Venice Biennale "Momenta" in 2013, as well as the Brucennial 2012[4] in New York. Though he grew up in Europe, his background made him an important[citation needed] ambassador in a major group exhibition at Saatchi Gallery in 2014, “Pangaea: New Art from Africa and Latin America”.
