“In one of the most-buzzed about booths,
Rosen’s works became instant crowd favorites,
offering many the perfect excuse for a selfie”
“Rosen’s creative concept makes
a forceful first impression“
“(Rosen’s) installation gives you plenty of
room to contemplate just what it is that
separates people — and holds us together”
“Artist Jonathan Rosen takes the now-ubiquitous
‘art selfie’ to its natural conclusion”
“A powerful way to express emotion
and feelings through art”
“Rosen, one of the hits of this year’s SPRING/BREAK Art Show, has again created a selfie-ready mirror artwork, with each photograph capturing one of a constant stream of adjectives (that explores) ‘how we see our body and acceptance of our body,’ “
“A powerful display of organized chaos and
there’s a captivating message at the
exhibition core: do not be afraid to say
what you want – and then pursue it”
“It comes as no surprise that
Rosen’s art is informed by the power that words,
typography and visuals hold over the viewer”
“Best Art Selfies at Armory Week“
” ‘Love is the answer’, John Lennon told us,
New York artist Jonathan Rosen knows this
to be true, and he’s spreading the word
through his bold and empathic artwork“
“The juxtaposition of the positive and negative space in each work embodies the tension that exists between desire and conformity, fantasy and reality”
“Rosen’s interactive mirror allows (people)
to reflect and celebrate different aspects of
their bodies without limit or judgment.”
“Instead of fighting the fact that viewers love to
photograph themselves (Rosen’s) piece actually
demands it, (creating) private affirmations for the viewer”
“Karl Likes: I WANT TO DREAM“
