About the Item

Alexandra Rozenman's "Rider and his Orange Juice" is a humorous yet somber square 48 x 48 x 1.5 inch surreal landscape oil painting in soft whites and blues with touches of black and orange. Rozenman puts on stage a vast snowy landscape. You cannot see the seats, but a beautiful theater curtain makes us think about theater, performance and imagined worlds. An abstracted and dark but sharp outline of a man on a horse comes from the left side of the painting diagonally aiming to the right hand corner. The rider knows what he wants and goes faster and faster across the snowfields. Faraway almost in the middle of the painting close to horizon line you suddenly see a glass with an orange substance. From the title, we know that it is an orange juice, but does the rider? Is he in need of vitamin C because of the winter? When Rozenman painted this painting she lived in Minnesota close to a Canadian border and had a horse, but nobody is supposed to know that. Maybe if she would have called this painting “Rider and Her Orange Juice” it would not be so mysterious, but rather funny. Alexandra Rozenman immigrated to America from the Soviet Union in 1989. Russian, European and American myths of national destiny and private identity take on a utopian dimension as she absorbs and expresses the psychology of otherness as fundamental aspects of her own identity. She wants her art to be like a well-worn military wool blanket that gives you warmth, love, and history. The artist states: “Whatever degree of abstraction defines my thinking and visual self-identification it has all to do with the search for my own image in a great existential sea of sweeping change.” Rozenman is represented by Fountain Street Gallery in Boston, MA.
