Jo Roszkowski

Artist bio

Jo Roszkowski is a Melbourne based artist who has studied photography, visual arts and therapeutic arts therapy. She was selected for the Bayside Artist in Residence program at Billilla in 2016, and has been an artist in residence at Kingston Arts in 2017 - 2019. Her work has recently been exhibited at Altman Gallery, No Vacancy, G3 and the South Art Dealer in New York. Her work is included in the Benetton art collection Imago Mundi, Italy as well as other private and online art collections. As with all of her creative output, this body of current work is inspired by the forms, colours and textures of nature, in particular the unseen layers and the ephemeral details that form the greater universe. The work explores a seductive cycle of inspiration, reaction, response and result.

I create art because...

I feel a deep need to express myself through creativity and communicate to others through visual language.

I am different to most artists because...

I don't premeditate what I am going to produce. In each moment with the medium I am in a state of co-creating responding with action and reaction.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

a sense of curiosity that makes you think more deeply about your existence in relation to the Universe.

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

please appreciate the time, thought, stories and effort that has gone into creating an original artwork

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

not only does is bring beauty to the world as another sees it, but it should also challenge you to think, reflect and ponder the human condition.
