"Rosen's work is influenced by the forms perceived in those moments prior to complete recognition -- what is seen before pattern, color, and shape indicate some figure or formation -- which serves to engage viewers in negotiating the relationship between perception and cognition."
-- Patricia C. Phillips, Artforum
JANE ROSEN BIOGRAPHY
Jane Rosen lived, worked, and exhibited in New York for twenty years. In 1989 Rosen found herself drawn to the light of the California coast, and she moved to a horse ranch in San Gregorio, California. Her experiences on this ranch have become the inspiration for her art. The deer, hawks, horses, and dogs that populate her work represent Rosen's hopes for a humanity that is intuitively aware and close to its inner nature.
Rosen feels that the ritual process of making art opens the artist to experiencing the moment and entering a purer state of being. This understanding informs her art and gives each work its psychological complexity. Rosen's drawings develop spontaneously and often begin with coffee or ink stains. Her sculptures for the wall are multilayered in their use of materials from marble dust to gypsum and willow branches to horse hair. In her newest work Rosen explores the tactile and expressive possibilities of limestone by working with architectural remnants.
Rosen has taught art at a number of colleges and universities since 1978 including the School of Visual Arts in New York, the University of California at Davis, Stanford University, and the University of California at Berkeley, where she currently teaches a method of drawing based on the sculptor's way of seeing.
