Rob Roth

Known for

Directing

Rob Roth is a multidisciplinary artist and director based in New York City. Roth combines a variety of media in his distinctive works of art to create the richly textured work seen at such venues as the New Museum for Contemporary Art, PS122, Abrons Art Center, Here Arts, Museum of Arts and Design, Deitch Projects, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among many others. Roth’s poetic visual language springs from his initial training as a painter. As a visual artist and believer in theatre as ritual, he creates lyrical and mysterious works within a deconstructed narrative. His explorations of cinematic language and form within live performance and installation, result in creations of haunting imagery influenced by renaissance painting, classic Hollywood films, and alchemy that combined, plumb the depths of eroticism, sexuality and death.
