Rosanna Schaub geboren in Süd Afrika, lebt und arbeitet in Zürich. Rosanna Schaubs künstlerischer Werdegang und Ausrichtung ist vielfältig und durch mehrere Identitäten in ihrem Schaffen geprägt. Als gelernte Illustratorin und Modezeichnerin fasste sie den künstlerischen Entschluss, absichtlich zu „entlernen“, was sie von den damaligen anatomischen Studien verinnerlicht hat. Es kommt nicht von ungefähr, dass Rosanna Schaubs Bildwelten ursprünglich aus dem unendlichen Bilderstrom der Kultur-, Lifestyle- und Modehochglanzmagazine entspringen. Armeen von Fotomodellen – Menschenmodellen – paradieren durch sie. Sie tragen das Ideal der Makellosigkeit und spätkapitalistische Attitüden der Konsumgesellschaft zu Markte. Rosanna Schaub konfrontiert die Betrachterin und den Betrachter mit Anblicken von Zerrissenheit, wenn sie Gesichter und Formen in fast kubistischer Manier fragmentiert. Sie hält ihm den Spiegel vor, zur Selbstbefragung.
