In Autofiction, Anna Rosen’s new oil paintings at Night Gallery depict cars traversing surreal landscapes alongside floating books, evoking fragmented memories and personal history. Her works, marked by a gritty, layered style, transform autobiographical experiences—like fire in Altadena or library research—into abstract compositions. Rosen’s process, which includes tearing and reapplying canvas fragments, emphasizes experimentation, creating dynamic surfaces that merge personal narrative with shifting visual impressions.
