Rosalie Aleksandra Anter

Born in Istanbul in 1996, raised in the United States, Rosalie Aleksandra seeks to

understand concepts of roots, identity, persona, communication and connection

between one another. Spending her childhood in a warm and loving community, and

then moving into a more individualized, independent manner of connection, she

learned to expand within the freedom while also yearning for the intimacy of her past

life.

Studying interdisciplinary fine arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,

Massachusetts, Rosalie Aleksandra dabbled in a wide array of media from photography

to sculpture to drawing. Questioning what it is to draw or what it is to make, she

became interested in the process itself, and in creating a softer line between the art and

the viewer.

Having participated in exhibitions around the world including the US, Israel, Turkey, and

an art fair in Saatchi Gallery in London, ‘Living Room / Salon’ at Arthan Gallery, Istanbul

marks her first solo show.

“The work is about the human fight to be, to feel, and to release. Essentially it’s a

portrait of a human’s, a young woman’s, state of aloneness and tenderness in response

to the stimulation and events of the outer world. Almost like the penetration of a tree by

outer forces and how the tree responds to the strokes or happenings around it, I

respond to the world through my pieces. “
