Marcy Rosenblat creates the illusion of patterned fabric covering her paintings as a way of suggesting femininity without explicitly including the feminine form. The delicacy of the lace pattern directly opposes the monumentality of the forms beneath, creating a latent tension between design and form. Her process is dictated by an inherent sense of risk and loss; she does not know what she might obscure when she paints through the weave of the fabric. Rosenblat’s work has been exhibited by the Rawls Museum, Smith College, 490 Atlantic Gallery, and Galerie Berlin am Meer, among countless others and has been included in over 75 solo, two-person, and group exhibitions. She is the recipient of the 1998 Individual Artists Grant/Women’s Art Development Committee. Rosenblat holds her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and her MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
