Roslyn
Rose was born in New Jersey. She studied art
at Rutgers University, Pratt Institute, and Skidmore College
(where she received her B.S.) Ms. Rose is well known
for her etchings and assemblages.
Recently she has concentrated on the technique of Emulsion Transfer Montages.
This new medium allows her to incorporate images from her travels with
studio photography. Continuing her interest in the latest techniques, Rose
is now adding digital imaging to these montages.
Using a favorite grid design format in assemblages and montages, Ms Rose
separates her creations into segments. She combines these images onto a
new surface to offer different interpretations of ancient myths, women’s
history, and contemporary stories.
Her prints, collages, montages, and assemblages are part of many permanent
collections. In New Jersey, they include the Newark Museum, The New Jersey
State Museum, Voorhees-Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University, The Noyes
Museum (study collection) and the Newark Library. Creations by Rose are
part of the Roddenberry Memorial Library in Georgia as well as the McAllen
International Museum and the Rosenberg Library in Texas. Many corporate
collections own art by Rose including A T & T, Basking Ridge, NJ; Citibank
of NY, Moscow, Russia; PSE&G, Newark, NJ; Readers Digest, Pleasantville,
NY; and Nabisco Brands, Parsippany, NJ.
Ms Rose’s assemblages have recently been exhibited at the Noyes Museum,
Oceanville, NJ; Grounds for Sculpture, Hamilton, NJ; and City Without Walls
Gallery, Newark, NJ. Her photo emulsion transfer montages were recently
included in shows at New Century Artists Gallery, NYC; Bristol Art Museum,
RI; and Pennsylvania State University, Reading, PA.
