Victoria Roth


Victoria Roth is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Her biomorphic abstract paintings sit on the edge of recognition— a meaty shape expands like a muscle, a gnarled form morphs into a heart, that bulbous symbol. Through her imagined and high keyed compositions, she explores ideas of queer abstraction and desire as embedded in bodily forms that appear to constantly transform. While her paintings are loud and visceral, they resonate on a psychological level, revealing themselves over time. Victoria Roth (b. 1986, Paris, FR) is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2014 and a BA in History of Art & Architecture and Visual Arts from Brown University in 2008. She has held recent solo exhibitions and presentations with Broadway Gallery, NY (2023, 2022), Brennan & Griffin, NY (2019, 2017), fAN Kunstverein, Vienna, AT (2017), Lulu, Mexico City, MX (2016). Roth’s work has been included in numerous group shows at various galleries and institutions such as Galería Marta Cervera, Madrid, ES (2024); Hesse Flatow, NY, (2024); Hales Gallery, NY (2023); Kate Werble Gallery, NY (2023); Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn, DE (2022); 1969 Gallery, NY (2021); Palais de Tokyo, Paris, FR (2019); The Pit, Los Angeles (2018); Helena Anrather, NY; Lulu, Mexico City, MX and more. In addition to her studio practice, Victoria Roth is an arts educator in New York City.
