Artist Biography 2023
Rosemary Reudelhuber
Originally from Texas, via Strasbourg, France and San Francisco, California…Rosemary now lives and works in Montreal, Quebec. Having graduated from Concordia University in 2004, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Arts; Rosemary has exhibited at the VAV gallery of Concordia University in Montreal, Native Immigrant Gallery and Gallery E.K.Voland. Her work is influenced by a deep interest in science and medicine as a result of working many years as a hospital floor nurse and her marriage to a medical research scientist. Working variously in paint, photography, fibre and sculpture, Rosemary has explored the relationship between human existence and the cosmos.
The most recent paintings are from a group called ‘Cosmic Graffiti”. The artist’s goal is to examine the interior of the human form, including cells photographed with scanning electron microscopy, as well as images of galaxies, nebulae and black holes from Hubble telescopic research…and through this visual journey to return with evidence of the one-ness of all things. A related idea, interbeing, a term coined by Zen master Thich Nhat Hahn, explains the concept that we do not exist independently—-we inter-are. As an example a tree cannot exist without the sun, the rain and the earth and its atmosphere.
In summary, this work is examining the relationships between the macrocosm and the microcosm and weaving together threads of science and art.
