Calibration & Contingency ::
Recent paintings on glass by
John Rosis

January 23 - February 27, 2005

Curator ::
Joel Carreiro

Rockland Center for the Arts is pleased to present Nyack artist John Rosis in a solo exhibition in gallery ONE entitled "Calibration & Contingency - recent paintings on glass by John Rosis" curated by Joel Carriero, Fine Arts Graduate Advisor at Hunter College in New York City.

Calibration & Contingency features Rosis's small-scale abstract paintings in the reverse painting on glass technique. The artist derives abstract images and colors from the surrounding New York State landscape. Rosis refers playfully to the juxtaposition of distant views found in nature and its depiction on a small-scale. Each painting is presented in a specially made frame by the artist, which allows the edges of the glass to be exposed to create a "floating" effect.

An essay on the artist's work by Gabriel de Guzman, Fine Arts Associate at the Jewish Museum in New York City will accompany the exhibit. John Rosis is an instructor at Rockland Center for the Arts and appears courtesy of Paul Sharpe Contemporary Art NYC.
