Terry Rosenberg was born on February 6, 1954 in Hartford,
Connecticut and raised in Miami, Florida. He studied Fine Art at the
University of Miami BFA and Alfred University MFA. In 1980, after
settling in New York City, his sculpture and related drawings were
exhibited at Hal Bromm Gallery. This debut exhibition focused on the
human form and issues related to representation and identity,
examining dualities such as integration/isolation, human/animal,
past/future, and science/fiction. With the 1984 exhibition at Bette Stoler
Gallery his paintings and drawings explored a multiplicity of human
gestures, as polymorphs suggesting movement and transformation.
Rosenberg's work soon became recognized among New York's new
figurative genre and by the end of the 80's had been exhibited
throughout the U.S. and Europe.

During an extended residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary
Art in Omaha, Nebraska he began a series of drawings observing
dance. Specifically, he made in situ drawings of American Ballet
Theatre, Dance Theatre of Harlem, Mark Morris Dance Group, Kirov
Ballet, and Parsons Dance Company. These graphic records of his
responses to figures in motion constitute a detailed examination of
the present tense. They are an active meditation on the synthesis of
light, dynamic structure, and space/time relationships. This series
culminated with the exhibition and supportive catalog, Terry
Rosenberg, Inside the Dance, organized by the Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery in1994.

In 1979 and 1982 Rosenberg was awarded Artist in Industry grants by
the Kohler Company and in 1987 and 1991 he received grants from
the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art. Rosenberg also received a
fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts in 1989 and a
Master Fellowship from the Nebraska Arts Council in 1996. He lives
and works in New York City.
