"Rozenman paints bright, multilayered narratives that at once tantalize with images and defy the viewer to truly comprehend what’s going on. These dramas take place behind painted open curtains, placing everything in the context of performance and ritual; each depicts a moment that must be witnessed to experience truly.

…There’s an almost dizzying pulse of merging, submerging, and emerging, heightened by Rozenman’s brilliant use of color. They are rich, enigmatic, panoramic paintings. They have an intoxicating quality that can carry you away…"

-Cate McQuaid, The Boston Globe

"Alexandra Rozenman is an artist of fantasy and folkish charm. Her exhibition Playful Paintings (after the intermission…) delights the eye with dreamlike scenes rendered with exuberance and a colorful, childlike style

A Russian native herself, Rozenman includes many obvious references to compatriot Chagall, including folksy figures, a musician with violin, horses, and his famous flying figures. But whereas Chagall’s work often looks like a collection of images, Rozenman’s conjure up scenarios. Her paintings appear as stage sets within which mysterious and compelling figures occupy ambiguous spaces and landscapes.

Rozenman’s lyrical style and confidence as a colorist make this a refreshing exhibition full of memorable paintings. After this intermission, we eagerly look forward to her next act."

-Susan Mulski, Art New England

"Ironically, for someone who was an art prodigy, one of the most endearing aspects of her mature style is a very child like, folk flavored, brightly colored, almost naďve quality. But having bounced around art school and teachers from Moscow to Boston she has learned a lot from many sources but forged them into a highly intensive, whimsical and fantasy rich, personal sense of style. While one clearly sees references to Marc Chagall and his Russian peasant, folk imagery, this and other images have been so thoroughly absorbed then masticated that the resultant image may be mistaken as none other than unique and original work by Rozenman."
