Thinking One Year Back” (detail). by Alexandra Rozenman in her joint show, “Unfolding Roads,’’ with Nora Valdez, at Fountain Street Fine Art, Boston, through Feb. 28.

The gallery says:

This exhibit features the paintings and collages of Rozenman, as well as the sculptures and drawings of Valdez. Both artists are immigrants, from the former Soviet Union and Argentina, respectively, and this part of their identities is reflected in their artwork. Rozenman's pieces are large and expansive, depicting a vast world of images, symbols, history and famous artworks. Her early life in Russia influences her approach to beauty and wonder to this day, and her search for belonging forms the core of her art.’’
