Roxane
Legenstein’s drawings and paintings create
an intriguing meeting place of abstract color
and implied architectural space. The artist is
fascinated by the ways in which the architectural
spaces we live and work in can affect our outlook,
and facilitate accidental meetings, interactions
and personal isolation.
Legenstein
is also a ceramist, sculptor and installation
artist. Born in Vienna, she has produced work
and exhibited in Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom,
Austria, Greece, Russia and the United States.
She serves as an adjunct faculty member at the
University of St. Francis.
Legenstein
lives and has a studio in Ukrainian Village, Chicago.
