Acadiana Center for the Arts
Roz LeCompte: RÊVERIE is an exhibition of mixed media paintings, objects and sculpture which explore southern identity in radical and playful ways. In speaking of this exhibition the artist explains: “Tapping into the flow state has become a therapeutic practice. One that has been present and available to me since I can remember. It offers an escape from reality where I can process being human. I have become infatuated with my homeland, heritage, memories, and subconscious. What ends up on my wooden canvases is heavily influenced by symbols and images from my dreams. The challenge of remaining open to the constant evolution that mindful expression offers is a ride I hope never ends.”

Paintings on found glass windows, papier maché sculpture & drawings all from this eclectic local artist. As explained by the artist, “I’m deeply inspired by nature, tradition, spirit, and the idea of reusing materials. The windows were given to me by my friend, Jamie Harson, owner of Scratch Farm Kitchen. For the past couple years, I’ve had the opportunity to display and sell these windows at Scratch. I used oil based pen markers to create the artworks. The other two artworks are a bit different. One is a relief sculpture of an alligator I made from recycled paper and the other is a linoleum block print of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I love to make art in various disciplines and mediums. It’s all about the process!”
