Brion Nuda Rosch

Eli Ridgway Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by San Francisco–based artist Brion Nuda Rosch. Working primarily with found book pages, Rosch paints simple, hard-edged forms — rocks, monuments, and blunt geometric shapes — directly onto appropriated photographs of grand, Romantic landscapes, interrupting and obscuring the images they sit on top of.

Alongside these collages are painted wooden constructions, brown-painted sculptural assemblages built from the contents of the studio, and a series of masks and portraits rendered in household paint. Across media, Rosch tests the weight of the heroic landscape and the cultural clichés it carries, deflating them with deadpan economy.
