CURATED BY MILAD IZADIAN 

 

Join us Friday, February 2nd at 15 Monroe St, NYC for the opening of Gabriel Rozzell's, Sunday School, unveiling his latest body of work.

 

Telling the story of an adolescence delicately balanced between strict values and devious rebellion. These paintings capture the essence of growing up in an environment shaped by intense religious beliefs while engaging in activities that contrast these values-playing with weapons, building make-shift explosives, and indulging in youthful recklessness. Through this narrative, Rozzell explores the tension between order and chaos, peering into the complexities of navigating a childhood marked by conflicting powers.

 

 

Gabriel Rozzell is a Multidisciplinary Contemporary artist currently based in New York City, born, and raised in Portland, Oregon in a strict catholic household. He is best known for his mixed media works that explore themes of identity through coming of age, religion, middle American culture, memory, and nostalgia.

Rozzell's artistic journey began at a young age, with a love for drawing and painting. As he grew older, he expanded his creative horizons, experimenting with different media and techniques. In 2021 He took a chance on himself and dropped out of PSU and moved to New York City to pursue his art career.
