HISTORIC AMERICAN POP

Historic American Pop presents vivid moments pulled from the flow of American history. Archival photographs from pivotal democratic events are layered with abstract expressionist grounds, collapsing past and present into a single visual field.

Rather than commemoration, the work insists on immediacy. Language and image reenter the present tense, asking to be reconsidered in light of contemporary struggles. These paintings treat history not as static record, but as a living force that continues to speak, challenge, and demand attention.

“Laura Roosevelt is a superb artist, who channels the complicated undertow of our shared past, a truth many would prefer to ignore or distort. At once celebratory and honest, her work illuminates hidden corners of our psyche while simultaneously reminds us of the ideals we still aspire to”. Ken Burns
