In Fish out of Water, Rosen’s work explores touch, reflection, and longing through large to intimate oil paintings and monotypes. Her large-scale, multi-figurative work on these themes began pre-pandemic and soon felt both disquieting and therapeutic in her uprooted life, which began to see more landscape with less people in it. Thus a more rigorous en-plein-air practice was born, as well as quiet, intimate, and single-figure works. Fish out of Water merges this cross-disciplinary collection at a time we are all a little patch-work within ourselves and without, navigating new currents but speckled with beauty. 

Up from July 11th through August 27th, 2022 at Cline House Gallery in Cornwall, Ontario
