Emily Roz
"Float" Contemporary Figurative Abstract Painting (oil on linen)

2020

About the Item

30"x40" oil on linen, signed on reverse by the artist. Emily Roz paints with a vibrant color palette. A glowing golden orange yellow background reflects off the off the skin of a reclining female figure. Alternating blue and violet stripes compliment a field of blue stripes. The pattern of the figure's bikini bottom fuses with the plane of stripes which appear to fade into the background. This painting creates an optical illusion of planar panels that are aligned at overlapping angles and curves. Emily Roz's painting presents the femininity of the human form, and female politics of the figure. Roz paints with a contemporary style with flat fields of color and clean lines, her figures seem to glow in warm sunlight. Emily Roz (b. 1972, New Haven, CT) is a New York based artist.
