ARTIST STATEMENT

RENEE ROSSITER CREATES FINE ART COMPOSITES THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED-REALITY PHOTOGRAPHY

WITH SURREALIST CONSIDERATIONS. ROSSITER CHOOSES THIS GENRE BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO

CREATE HER OWN FANTASY WORLD; ALTERNATIVE REALITY. ROSSITER'S FANTASY WORLD HAS MANY

COMPOSITES, AND EXPRESSES THE TANTALIZING, ESCAPISM EMOTIONS THAT TAKE PEOPLE OUT OF

THE BANALITY OF THE DAILY LIFE OF WORKING, EATING AND SLEEPING. THIS IS THE INTENT OF

THIS SERIES. ART DIGNIFIES PEOPLE BEYOND THIS VICIOUS CYCLE. RENEE ROSSITER'S WORK IS

UNIQUE IN THAT IT IS INFLUENCED BY HER OWN ARTISTIC AFFINITIES, LOVE OF ARCHITECTURE,

MUSEUMS, FASCINATION WITH NATURE AND NATURAL PHENOMENON. THESE INFLUENCES

COME TOGETHER TO CREATE A WORLD OF CELEBRATION, EXHILERATION, BEWILDERMENT, CURIOSITY

AND WONDERMENT.

THE HUMAN MIND, IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY PROVIDES ESCAPE FROM THE

MEDIOCRITY OF DAILY HUMAN LIFE AND THE INEVITABLE TRAGEDIES OF LIFE SUCH AS

HUMAN SUFFERING AND EVENTUALLY DEATH THAT ALL HUMANS EXPERIENCE. CREATIVITY IS

A POWERFUL VEHICLE FOR HOPE, PROGRESS AND ESPECIALLY ESCAPISM. WHEN HUMAN'S

CREATIVE FORCES ARE STIMULATED AND EXPRESSED THROUGH ART, THERE IS GRATIFICATION

VICARIOUSLY SHARED BETWEEN ARTIST AND VIEWER. WE STEP INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION.

IT BRINGS HAPPINESS BY ELEVATING AND DIGNIFYING US TO A STATUS BEYOND THE

ANIMAL KINGDOM AND UNITES US AS AN INGENIUOS, CREATIVE, AND DESPERATE FAMILY.
