First Harvest in Paris

0.0 x 0.0

“Our first Harvest in Paris” by Alexandra Rozenman is a surreal and playful horizontal 48 x 24 x 2 inch. oil painting on canvas. Two beautiful spaces are united into one powerful image. On the left of the painting is a bluish night landscape with a big family of goose running either from something or towards something – we can’t be sure? On the opposite side of the canvas, creating the border is a cozy and welcoming interior of an empty house with wooden floor, green antique walls and a window with an iron balcony and a view of Paris, the city of Love. On the bottom of the right side, close to us there is a couple digging into the imagined garden or may be picking up the harvest. A soccer ball rests next to men’s leg. Do people plant flowers in soccer fields? In Paris, you never know. The beauty of understanding each other, building up the new life on a new land, gardening, home, migration all come together in this powerful narrative painting. But as in many other paintings by Rozenman this piece has a second layer. Its composition, as well as subject, recall a famous painting by a French XIX century painter Gustave Caillebotte, Raboteurs de parquets, 1875. (Floor Cleaners). It wants to connect past with the future and love with hard work.
