Ghostly and enigmatic, Laura Von Rosk’s paintings of enclosures are shaped by the unreliability of memory. Her raked vantage point not only points back to the presence of a viewer, but elongates these perimeter barriers, stretching them into the gauzy haze of unknown terrain. The soft, immaterial nature of Von Rosk’s brushstrokes fill her landscapes with narrative ambiguity–do her fences entrap the viewer, or lead them away? Laura Von Rosk earned her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania, and her BFA from the State University of New York at Purchase. Her paintings have been exhibited nationally in both solo and group shows. Her awards include the 2023 NYSCA  Individual Artist Grant, the 2004 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting,  grants from the Pollack Krasner Foundation, and numerous residencies, including Yaddo and the Millay Colony.
