Terry Rosenberg

Terry Rosenberg (born 1954) is an American artist, known for painting, sculpture, and drawings that reference the body.

Early life
Rosenberg was born in Hartford, Connecticut and raised in Miami, Florida. He received an Associate of Arts degree from Miami Dade College in 1974, a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Miami in 1976, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in 1978.

Career
Rosenberg moved following school to New York City and began exhibiting cowhide sculpture and related drawings at Hal Bromm Gallery in 1980. He produced canvases on which he painted figural polymorphs, as well as suites of small drawings and collages with figural motifs. Rosenberg's sculpture developed a paradigm preoccupied with scoring and folding continuous surfaces produced from sheet materials that were at times transparent and suffused with light.

In 1994, the Sheldon Museum of Art organized Terry Rosenberg, Inside the Dance, an exhibition featuring drawings created during dance rehearsals from groups including American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theater of Harlem and Mark Morris Dance Group. In 2002 the book Figuring Motion: Terry Rosenberg was published in conjunction with an exhibition of paintings that was presented at the University of Wyoming Art Museum, Berman Museum of Art and others. Rosenberg was awarded an individual artist fellowship by New York Foundation for the Arts and residencies at the Arts Industry Program at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Rosenberg lives in New York City.
