EMERALD CITY: Marina Ross

Artruss is pleased to present Emerald City,  a selection of oil paintings by Marina Ross in which the artist explores the connections between loss, home and belonging. Ross began mining the iconic American fairytale The Wizard of Oz (1939) in the summer of 2022, after the tragic loss of her son, as an index to cultural and personal memory. Witnessing the rise and fall of beloved performers from her youth, Ross initially investigated the impact of trauma on young, female performers such as Brittany Murphy, Britney Spears and Judy Garland. The current work takes a closer look at the impact of the Wizard of Oz on Judy Garland’s later life and as a reflection of the film’s icons such as the farmhouse, the Emerald City, and the poppies, in addition to the nature of the iconic film itself.
