Roscoe Church is also a very good project, this church also has a very good historical content, the whole church history is also relatively long, you can see a lot of projects, Roscoe Church is also a very huge place.
Mark Rothko said he was the best himself. “...those who weep in front of my paintings have the same religious experience as I did when I painted them.” The chapel is modest, dim, quiet, without photography. The country bench. Once your eyes are adjusted, the painting starts to shine, and I don’t want anyone to continue standing. I studied Roscoe and wanted to visit this church for decades. Bring these paintings to your grief and longing.
In a huge octagonal stone chamber, there is only one very quiet and still space, with high dark panels painted by Mark Roscoe. The lighting comes from skylights, so the level of ambient light changes with the clouds. There are simple wooden benches and cushions to sit there and reflect, meditate, pray or do nothing. As a business visitor, I have visited Houston many times and I never had time to visit Roscoe Church. This trip, I just got from a hard deposition, a few hours ago on my plane, just needed a place to calm down for a while. Totally worth a visit. Very calm.
