About the Item

oil on wood panel 36"x36" Referencing seed pods of a specific Southern Magnolia tree from the artist’s youth in Chapel Hill, this lush, tactile painting exudes the sexuality of the reproduction system of the Magnolia grandiflora. Emily Roz exaggerates the visceral and sensual qualities of the fertile seed pod, through the use of saturated colors and the drama of baroque light. In this painting the artist captures each minute detail of the final stages of propagation as the hard, lustrous crimson seeds protrude and penetrate their tantalizing furry enclosures. The exacting detail of these structures is counterbalanced by her use of the flat blue negative space surrounding the pods. These seemingly infinite fields of color paired with intense detail are inspired by Roz’s love of Northern Renaissance and Flemish paintings that use color in both realistic and symbolic ways. Emily Roz received a BA from Hampshire College where she studied Art History, Literature and Weaving. She went on to receive an MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally. She has been reviewed in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Out New York, The Washington Post, Joy Quarterly, W+G Williamsburg News + Art, Apollo Magazine, The Brooklyn Rail and NewCity Chicago. Emily was raised in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and currently works in Queens, and lives in New York with her husband and son.
