About the Item

Nadine Rovner orchestrates lush cinematic scenes, exploring a visual world of heightened tension, anticipation, anxiety, longing and desire. These carefully staged, richly textured environments are charged with the nostalgia of idealized Americana, yet are embedded with a sense of unease on the surface. This is a world populated by strong yet often detached characters, who peer beyond the edges of the frame, silent witnesses to unsettling narratives that remain unknown. The aesthetics of Americana allow Rovners photographs to address contemporary concerns by creating a setting that is removed from our expectations of reality. Reflecting these emotions, Rovner's photographs are filled with women who struggle against the depiction of one-dimensional objectified appearances. These images advocate for looking beneath the veneer, finding strength over vulnerability. 1 of 6 prints available. 2 AP. Includes a 1" white border on all edges. Artist will provide a certificate of authenticity with each print (archival sticker with the title, date, edition number, and signature). Ships rolled in a tube. Rovner holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas, and Washington, DC.

"Motel" Type C Metallic Print
By Jen Zahigian
Located in West Hollywood, CA
Jen's love of photography began as a child, when her grandfather, a photographer, gave her a camera.

Working with color Jen takes ordinary scenes just a bit beyond our everyday view.
