Alexandra Rozenman
"Life has Many Layers", Surreal, Landscape, Night, Blues, Oil Painting, 2017

2017

About the Item

"Life Has Many Layers" by Alexandra Rozenman is a large mysterious and brooding oil painting on canvas in blues and browns. Large and predominantly dark, this 40 x 50 x 2 inch dreamlike nighttime landscape is signed front and back. The title of this surreal and truthfully exciting painting speaks for itself. It illustrates human fragility and is full of emotions. This painting went through a few phases living for its title. It took the artist three years to paint. A strong flood of bright blue water rises up from the right bottom corner of the painting. It feels as if it goes towards one wind against another! Buildings down the street could be made of cardboard and are about to fall apart. Sky is dark and you can almost hear the thunder, but look carefully and you will notice that same bright sky blue light that we see on the bottom right is moving towards us from behind the city. Sky is dark, night is above us, but the right top corner of the canvas drops down to remind us of another place, another night, another dream, another layer, a second chance, another day, another blessing. 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 changes". Rozenman is represented by Fountain Street Gallery based in Boston, MA.
