Alexandra Rozenman
"Redon's Spirit", landscape, sky, blue, white, grey, green, oil painting

2018

About the Item

Alexandra Rozenman’s “Redon’s Spirit” is a 36 x 24 x 2.5 oil painting on canvas. It is a part of her on-going series called “Beasts and Beauties”. Big and heavy sky filled with white and grey clouds, white moon and a flock of flying away birds fills two thirds of the painting creating a feeling of weight, time and an open space. There is a magic divider under it – something that is part umbrella, part inside-out tent, and part ships sails. It keeps us from something bad and powerful like a Devil’s Eye, withstands the bad weather and produces air. On the rest of the painting the main story unfolds for us first as a simple, familiar landscape with bright sky, small pond, blue flowers and green moss. On a large tree stump we see fantastical figure fishing. That is for sure a “Redon’s Spirit” that Rozenman promised us in the title. During his early years, Odilon Redon's works were described as "a synthesis of nightmares and dreams", as they contained dark, fantastical figures from the artist's own imagination. His work represents an exploration of his internal feelings and psyche. He himself wanted to place "the logic of the visible at the service of the invisible". Skinny, feathery, curly, whimsical with thin wings Redon’s Spirit created by Rozenman makes us smile and wonder if there are real spirits among us fishing for golden fish. This painting can also be approached as Rozenman’s self portrait, although we know she does not have wings. This painting is titled, signed and dated on the back and initialed on the front. 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.

"One-Way Ticket to Paris", Abstract Landscape, Blues, Browns, Oil Painting, 2019
By Alexandra Rozenman
Located in Natick, MA
Alexandra Rozenman’s “One-way to Paris” 16 x 20 x 2.5 oil on canvas painting is a part of her landscape series where she plays with reality and abstraction inside the familiar place. The painting is a well thought- through abstract painting that symbolizes both departure and arrival. The dramatic combination of blues and beautiful browns in geometrical interposition of forms gives us a feeling of going away, departure, speed, light, and serendipity filled with expectations and purifying beauty. The light of dreamy suns above the horizon is suddenly deep green and energizes and calms the senses at the same time. We wonder thinking about the future, a highway that magically finds a way to transform into one lonely Paris street light...
