Artist Biography
Rosalie Rosenthal is an artist who uses lens based and camera-less photography to investigate the transience of objects, people, and place, transformed by context and perspective. Her practice looks beyond the intended functionality of everyday materials, or the expected vantage point, to reflect upon themes of memory, legacy, and personal histories.
Rosenthal received a BFA from the University of Louisville’s Hite Art Institute and a BA in History from Smith College. She has exhibited nationally at the Oceanside Museum of Art; the Griffin Museum of Photography; Filter Space Gallery, Chicago; Spalding University; the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft; and Manifest Gallery, Cincinnati.
Her photographs have been published in Fraction Magazine, aPhotoEditor, and Manifest Gallery Photography Annuals. Her work is collected by 21c Museum Hotels, Omni Louisville, and private collectors. Residencies include Makers Circle in Marshall, NC and Residency Unlimited in Brooklyn, New York. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Rosenthal lives in Louisville, Kentucky.
