The joy of Arlon Rosenoff's art stems from the overt celebration of color and texture in quotidian objects of beauty: the bow of a ship, the curve of a cheek, the interplay of landscape and sky. In this celebration, we find an exploration of surface and reflection: the blending of frontiers between hull and sea, sail and sky suggest a transcendental homogeneity; the mesmeric distortion of images --across water, in a truck's rain-slicked hood, in the silver surface of your common antemeridian toaster -- lead the viewer to consider the inherent, often ignored richness of our days and ways. Arlon's chromatic indulgence is a paean and homage to Life as we are privileged to find it.

I have often wondered what direction Vincent Van Gogh's art would have taken had he been able to maintain his grasp on reality and continued to work... after really enjoying your portfolio, and your unique palette knife work, i have decided he may have traveled down the road you are now on...
