Victoria Roth
Oct 3rd - 9th
Victoria Roth is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her biomorphic abstract paintings sit on the edge of recognition— a meaty shape expands like a muscle, a gnarled form morphs into a heart, that bulbous symbol. Through her imagined and high keyed compositions, she explores ideas of queer abstraction and desire as embedded in bodily forms that appear to constantly transform. While her paintings are loud and visceral, they resonate on a psychological level, revealing themselves over time. Roth grew up in France and received her MFA from Columbia University in 2014 and a BA in History of Art and Architecture and Visual Arts from Brown University in 2008. She has exhibited her work across the US and at various galleries and institutions in France, Germany, Mexico and more.
During her residency, Roth will continue her exploration of biomorphic abstraction in painting, using the opportunity to develop both imagined and high-keyed compositions.
