Producing paintings, collages and sculptural work notable for elegantly fusing disparate images and materials, Rosch's practice is centered around an inherent understanding of poetic association. By deconstructing and rearranging commonplace book pages, blocks of wood and other found objects, Rosch creates new landscapes and formalist structures. The works are simultaneously humble and monumental; familiar yet of an imaginary time and place; playful yet of a sincere inquiry. The artist’s assemblages and appropriations remove any trace of banality from the previously discarded elements of which they are constructed. Classical discourse regarding form vs content, foreground vs background and object vs subject is revived in the artists contemporary understanding of each.
Now based in San Francisco, Rosch is originally from Chicago and is self-taught. He has participated in numerous exhibitions including It's Not Me, It's You and IEG at the San Jose Institute for Contemporary Art, Trace Elements at the San Francisco Arts Commission, Grounded at Southern Exposure and most recently Bay Area Now 6 at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and Material Deposits at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center. His work has also recently been featured in both Picnic Magazine and Appendix Magazine. Expanding the role of the artist, Brion Nuda Rosch has curated several spaces including Hallway Projects, Adobe Books and Mimi Barr.
