Kay Rosen - Profile

Rosen has been exploring language through her art for over 25 years, following a formal education in that field. In her paintings, drawings, wall works, collages, editions and published projects, she has used various visual, grammatical, and typographical strategies to release new meaning from found words and phrases, and to challenge the way people read. In this newest body of work, she relies primarily on color to share her discoveries about language. She uses color to distinguish parts of words and articulate them in ways that encourage the viewer to see and think differently about language and what it represents. Rosen has said, "language is used by artists in different ways: for its message, as pop imagery, as texture, for its conceptual content, as surface design...for me the language in my work is primarily about itself, about its structure. At least that's how it starts out." But the artist suggests in her new catalogue interview that the vast possibilities of language and art, along with the willing viewer, can potentially take these verbal images far from where they begin as simply structural objects.
