Alexandra Roozen 
"In large drawings, Alexandra Roozen meticulously fills empty sheets of paper until there is no space left.
In doing so, the artist ensures that minimal differences in gesture, hatching, and rhythm have a reinforcing effect and create new structures.
Changes in tone, light, or contrast reveal hidden spaces and volumes that touch, rotate, merge, or slide past one another.
The works, therefore, invite the viewer to look again and again, in changing perspectives, from the smallest element to the bigger picture and vice versa.
Meditative and labor intensive, Roozen’s artworks often take many weeks to complete: pushing against the current culture of efficiency and time pressure."
Alexandra Roozen lives and works in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. She graduated cum laude from AKV|Art Academy St. Joost in Breda.
Since 2011 Alexandra Roozen has been teaching at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, gives master classes at the Frank Mohr Institute,
Drawing Center Diepenheim and had a mentorship at the Center for Visual Arts in Rotterdam.
