Rosson Crow is a 28 year old Texan who paints grandiose interiors that no longer exist. Her images are large scale (about 7 x 11 ft) and devoid of people, leaving the viewer as the point of entry into each work. She is interested in the persistence of material culture, what is left after the party is over. I admire her approach, one that is chock full of historical allusion and theatrical layering. And I like that there's always a pull between celebration and desolation in these spaces. My only criticism is the overcrowded compositions, but I guess that can come with the decadent territory. These are some of my favorites.
