Marie Rud Rosenzweig (b. 1991, Denmark) graduated with an MFA from the Funen Academy of Fine Arts, Odense; Univärsitet der Künste, Berlin, and Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. Her practice is based on painting as a site for investigation - both of its materiality and of narratives and symbols. Rosenzweig works primarily figuratively from preliminary studies, but the process is layered and therefore in motion. She most often starts with an interest in a concrete figure. It can be an object, a structure, or a "character." Starting from the figure, she works with the associative layers of meaning that exist around it. Thereby it is a movement from the concrete and descriptive towards the analytical and ambiguous.
Rosenzweig has exhibited solo at Kunstforeningen Gl. Strand, Copenhagen (2023); M100, Odense (2023); Baka'd'Busk, Copenhagen (2021); Baggaarden, Copenhagen (2020); Alice Folker Gallery, Copenhagen (2024 + 2019) and FAA Room, Odense (2018). Her duo and group exhibitions include shows at Helsinki Contemporary (2025), Cassius & Co., London (2024); Golsa Gallery, Oslo (2023); Mamoth Gallery, London (2023); Rundetårn, Copenhagen (2022) and Kunst im Hafen, Düsseldorf (2021).
In 2023, she received the largest Danish award for painting talents under the age of 50 years, Jens Søndergaard og Hustrus Mindelegat at SMK (the Danish National Gallery). Her works can be found in multiple public collections, including the Danish Parliament, the New Carlsberg foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation.
