Artist: Anat Rozenson 安娜特·罗岑森

The talent of imagination is one of the reasons which makes Rozenson stand out among the young generation of contemporary painters. The process of her invention for a new work starts from a sparkle. Sometimes, she chooses it from her daily life, as in “Code Name Violets,” which was based on five close female friends’ periodic meetings; It may also combine imagination and reality, as in “The Red Trumpet.” One day Ronzenson’s son told her his discovery in their garden: a flower bloomed like a red trumpet. The artist's keen instinct clung to this word which carried rich symbolic meanings and immediately opened streams of imagination. After choosing the “sparkle,” Rozenson will methodically guide her powerful vision and carefully build up on the canvas an aesthetic and multiple-layered realm where both poetic and symbolic scene takes place. All great artists have the distinctive ability of imagination, Bruegel, Michelangelo, Van Gogh, and Dalí, to name a few. Every one of them has a unique way of visualizing his imagination. Anat Rozenson often picks daily objects, home spaces, landscapes, and familiar people, relocates, and weaves them together in a new order. She emphasizes their symbolic meaning and, at the same time, connects these elements with color areas and especially with beautiful patterns to create an illusion of a natural and continuous world. Ronzenson’s paintings always enhance the effect of beauty and are pleasant to the eyes. Under the aesthetic appearance, there is joy and love but much more conflicts, pains, and questions. The artist doesn't mind if an observor stops at the stage of admiring the picture's beauty and doesn't perceive its deeper layers. I assume what is most important for her art is always the exchange with the audience.
Nature is the source of human’s imagination. Anat Rozenson chose to live in the Golan Hights so that she and her family could live as close as possible to nature. The Golan Heights rise up to the east of the Sea of Galilee in the far north east of Israel. Home to some most spectacular landscapes, big variety of plants, it is open, wild and far removed from cities. Like New Mexico for Georgia O’Keefe , Arles for Vincent Van Gogh, Golan nourishes and inspires Anat Rosenson’s creation. In the Golan Heights, the bright sunlight which she loves is even more stronger than in other parts of Israel, the wind in winter blowing sounder, and nature shows distinct beauty in different seasons. Her sight reaches to the horizon when she gazes from her studio or from her garden. She goes on many trips with her family and her children, explores the mountains, woods, rivers and waterfalls. Many of the landscapes and spots she visited became “the stage set” or part of it for her paintings, for example, the creek in “The Red Trumpet”. HOME is always Rozenson's focus. Though sometimes symble of unsafety, nature is one of her spiritual homes in her paintings as well as in her life.

想象力的天赋是罗岑森在年轻一代的当代画家中脱颖而出的原因之一。她创作新作品的过程是从一个灵光一闪开始的。有时灵感从日常生活中闪现,如 「代号紫罗兰」,来自五个亲密女性朋友的定期聚会;也可能结合想象和现实,如 「红色小号」:有一天,儿子告诉罗岑森他在花园里的发现:一朵花开得像个红色的小号。艺术家敏锐的直觉捕捉了这一带有丰富象征意义的词语,并立即引入了想象力的源泉。在确定一个“灵光点”之后,罗岑森将有条不紊地引导她丰富的视觉资源,并在画布上小心翼翼地建立起一个美学的多层次构建,这是发生生诗意与象征性的场景。所有伟大的艺术家都有独特的想象能力,勃鲁盖尔、米开朗基罗、梵高和达利等等。安娜特·罗岑森经常采取日用品、家庭空间、风景和熟悉的人来重新安置,以新的秩序将它们编织在一起。她强调所用意象的象征意义,同时用色彩区——特别是用美丽的图案串联分散的意象,以创造一个自然和连续的世界的幻觉。罗岑森的绘画总是能增强美的效果,让人赏心悦目。在审美的外表下,有快乐和爱,但更多的是冲突、痛苦和问题。艺术家并不介意观察者停留在欣赏画面美感的阶段,而不去察觉它的深层含义。我想对她的艺术来说,最重要的永远是与观众的交流。

大自然是人类想象力的源泉。安娜特·罗岑森选择居住在戈兰高地,她与家人就可以尽可能地接近大自然了。戈兰高地耸立在以色列东北部加利利海的东部。这里有一些最壮观的风景,大量的植物。它是开放的,野生的,远离城市的。就像乔治亚·奥基夫的新墨西哥州和文森特·梵高的阿尔勒一样,戈兰高地滋养并激发了安娜特·罗岑森的创作。在戈兰高地,她喜欢的明亮的日光比以色列其他地方更强烈,冬天的风吹得更响。大自然在不同的季节显示出独特的美。当她在工作室或花园里眺望时,她的视线能直达地平线。她们全家经常出门旅行,探索山区、森林、河流和瀑布。参观过的风景都成为她绘画的 "舞台布景 "或其中的一部分,例如,「红色小号」中的小溪。家始终是罗岑森的重点。在她的画作和生活中,大自然则是她的精神家园之一,虽然有时带来不安全的意味。
