Mystery, tension and high contrast embody the atmosphere of Rosendale’s paintings. Following the artist’s 2007 sell-out show, “Bring the Money, Come Alone” 2010, "For a Few Dollars More" 2011, once again lure the viewer into Rosendale's nostalgic world of romantic crime…an urban vision both complex and sophisticated.

Born in Melbourne in 1973, Rosendale graduated from Monash University with a fine arts degree. Rosendale has exhibited in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane with Libby Edwards Galleries.
"Rosendale translates to canvas the brash, intriguing character of the city street. Like its mysterious inhabitants, the city is seductive and enticing, yet its magic belies a hidden, sinister side. The artist’s cool detachment allows these deeply psychological cityscapes to speak for themselves. The city breathes, has a certain pulse or rhythm, and is animated by an ever-changing personality.”

”I wake up in the morning with a vision in my head … it is very vague, a mood rather than a concrete tangible image. I spend many hours observing, taking photographs, researching, sifting through hundreds of old ephemera…until I discover what I can only describe as the pictorial equivalent of my vague notion. Then i feel a great need to express that image or somehow frame it, capture it and aggrandise it …It is the marriage of an inner vision with an outer. The inner being abstract, blurred, floating and with bleeding edges, the outer being concrete, tangible solid - present.”
