Marie Rud Rosenzweig

Rosenzweig explores our relationship with the everyday objects we apparently carelessly leave lying around us. Marie Rud Rosenzweig uses the canvas to create a psychological space in which familiar objects and images seem to float through, as though projected on a movie screen. For Rosenzweig, the act of painting is cousin to the act of fantasizing. When she paints objects she finds on the street or at the flea market, she daydreams about the life that surrounded the object. Her series of circle paintings refer to the intro and outro scene of the Looney Tunes cartoons, and are meant to embody an in-between space where anything can happen. While each of Rosenzweig's work begins with images from the real world, the act of painting becomes a mean to explore the psychological weight we assign to objects and images from popular culture.
