Honor Fraser, is currently showing Night at the Palomino, an exhibition of new paintings by Rosson Crow. The exhibition will continue through March 29th.
Rosson Crow is celebrated for her exuberant large-scale depictions of nostalgia-laden interiors that blend historical allusion and theatrical illusion. The paintings evoke the good times of yesteryear, with lush interiors that are always deserted, yet speak eloquently — if obliquely — of recent use and inhabitation. The work also stands out for its hallucinogenic spaces, with interiors fracturing and distorting from realistic representation into abstraction and surrealism, and “teetering,” as she puts it, “between claustrophobic and agoraphobic.”
