Terry Rosenberg
Terry Rosenberg (b.1954) is an American artist known for painting, sculpture, and drawing that references the body.

BIOGRAPHY

Terry Rosenberg was born in Hartford, Connecticut and raised in Miami, Florida. He attended Miami Dade College AA 1974, University of Miami BFA 1976 and Alfred University MFA 1978. Rosenberg then moved to New York City and began exhibiting cowhide sculpture and related drawings at Hal Bromm Gallery in 1980. He also produced big un-stretched canvases on which he paints 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 projected with light.

In 1994 the Sheldon Museum of Art organized Terry Rosenberg, Inside the Dance, an exhibition of drawings created during rehearsals of dancers and dance groups including American Ballet Theatre, Dance Theater of Harlem, and Mark Morris Dance Group. The drawings are active meditations on the present tense, the synthesis of light, dynamic structure, and space/time relationships.(1) 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, Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art and others.(4) Rosenberg was awarded an individual artist fellowship by New York Foundation for the Arts and residencies at the Kohler Arts/Industry Program and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Rosenberg lives and works in New York City.(1)
