About the Item

In Alexandra Rozenman's 30 x 40 x 2.5 inch oil on canvas painting piece you find yourself on the stage in a surreal setting. Everything is unexpected and strange. We feel ticklish because everything is recognizable, but nothing is familiar. We see two creatures together holding a large yellow sun. One of them is a woman wearing a green dress with white wings, barefoot, the other one is a man turning into a bird (or the other way around?). There is a large stock of white birds on the right bottom corner of the painting. Everything is possible in this world! Alexandra Rozenman immigrated to America from the Soviet Union in 1989. Russian, European and American myths of national destiny and private identity take on a utopian dimension as she absorbs and expresses the psychology of otherness as fundamental aspects of her own identity. She wants her art to be like a well-worn military wool blanket that gives you warmth, love, and history. The artist states. Whatever degree of abstraction defines my thinking and visual self-identification it has all to do with the search for my own image in a great existential sea of sweeping change. Rozenman is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
