Nadine Rovner

Nadine Rovner orchestrates lush cinematic scenes, exploring a visual world of heightened tension, anticipation, anxiety, longing and desire. These carefully staged, richly textured environments are charged with the nostalgia of idealized Americana, yet are embedded with a sense of unease on the surface. This is a world populated by strong yet often detached characters, who peer beyond the edges of the frame, silent witnesses to unsettling narratives that remain unknown. The aesthetics of Americana allow Rovners photographs to address contemporary concerns by creating a setting that is removed from our expectations of reality. Reflecting these emotions, Rovner's photographs are filled with women who struggle against the depiction of one-dimensional objectified appearances. These images advocate for looking beneath the veneer, finding strength over vulnerability.

Rovner holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Texas, and Washington, DC.
