Victoria Roth

Victoria Roth is a visual ar/st living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her biomorphic abstract pain/ngs sit on the edge of recogni/on— a meaty shape wraps around like a muscle, a gnarled form morphs into a heart, that bulbous symbol. Through her imagined and high keyed composi/ons, she explores ideas of queer abstrac/on and queer desire as embedded in bodily forms that appear to be in a constant becoming. While her pain/ngs are loud and visceral, their resonance is psychological and their read is slow.

Victoria has exhibited her pain/ngs and drawings interna/onally. Recent solo exhibi/ons include The Armory Show with Broadway Gallery, New York, NY (2023), Velvet Nerve, Broadway Gallery, New York, NY (2022); Victoria Roth, Brennan & Griffin, New York, NY (2019); Insides, fAN Kunstverein, Vienna, AT (2017); Off the Banks, Brennan & Griffin, New York, NY (2017).
