Untold Stories features a variety of paintings from each of these bold female artists and aims to challenge viewers by presenting scenes and situations that make you look twice. Loomis and Rozenman use wit, humor, and imagination to highlight some of humanities’ more curious behaviors, and their use of vibrant color alters circumstances from common life experiences.
Alexandra Rozenman's current series of paintings, originally titled "Transplanted," focuses on humorous narratives of cohabiting, moving with, running to, waiting for... with famous artists across history. By inserting herself into the paintings, she points out the irony of living with another artists’ work for inspiration.
Anita Loomis' narrative-driven paintings are playful and cartoonish, poking fun at some of human's less attractive characteristics such as vanity, clumsiness, or frustration. They encourage the viewer to notice how beautiful a simple line, color, or shape can be; how funny human behavior can be; or how interesting that something so plain and unassuming can touch souls or create laughter.
