Episode 273

Portrait credit Rose Eichenbaum

Ep.273 Born in 1982 in Dallas (Texas, USA), Rosson Crow lives and works in Los Angeles (California, USA).
Rosson Crow graduated from Yale University, New Haven, (MFA obtained in 2006), and from the School of Visual Arts, New York (BFA obtained in 2004). The artist was in residency at the prestigious Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris in 2006.

She is part of the emerging artist generation of the young contemporary arena both in the US and in Europe.

Rosson Crows’ work comprises immersive paintings, each steeped in a nostalgic atmosphere, with superimposed impressions and touching reminders of masterpiece films from the French New Wave, which she cites as one of her main artistic references. Rosson Crow recognizes in these literary films themes that are important to her: the fundamentally ambivalent character of reality, memory, experiential confusion and the multiple layers of interpretation that derive from them. By projecting this universe into a saturated future, with psychedelic colors and invasive ornamentations, Rosson Crow navigates between utopia and dystopia, at a time when the planet is threatened by our massive overconsumption: “In a way, the paintings are about the collective hubris of humanity, our bad behavior, inheriting a dream world and destroying it.”

Rosson Crow’s work was featured in important solo exhibitions throughout the US, and Europe. She has a strong presence in prestigious public and private collections.
