About

Blaise Rosenthal

Ever consumed and captured by aspects of style; attracted to Jean-Michel Basquiat’s process and art, Vincent Van Gogh’s methods and work. Blaise Rosenthal—with a love of texture—obsessively scumbles his way to a finish surface, more like say, Claude Monet, than those influences credited.

Modern imagery and pop-culture trappings: these are so far the subject matters for painted interpretation, at certain instance, handled in a spiritual sense.

His expression of self thru communication, and on canvas, is an impassioned, ever-present reflection of the world upon a struggling, good-hearted, and fallible man. With few answers to the existential questions asked over time—though constantly seeking—a dialog about art, for instance, will ultimately follow a track of discussion to life’s grandest conflict, that of good versus evil.

Looking for a personal scale of balance and imbalance in his being, he’ll cite a necessity for demons in one’s life (though painful), to then know how to recognize the many present angels. Just look to Blaise’s current Ghost series as representation to that storied effect.

His nascent exploration in creative technique—on the way to determining an expressionist style—is an alternative means of individual oration that is quietly connecting with a growing audience. This is the portrait of an emerging artist.
