About the Item

Alexandra Rozenman's oil painting "Cats don't Smoke" is a surreal landscape where something magical is happening on a windowsill. The window is open and you are inside the room looking at the European-style old town with old triangular roofs. The moon is white and bright. We are facing the moment when the night changes to day and the sky and everything else feels very much alive - all the plants, the three oranges, the black cat that is looking away from us into the window and the two magic birds with the human heads are real enough to look at us and invite us into this surreal place that smells like cigarettes, French bread, cats and oranges. This 36 x 24 inch vertical interior still-life is initialed on the lower right corner, signed, and dated on the back. 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.
