ONLINE EXHIBITION
November 16, 2021 - December 23, 2021
Track 16 Gallery is pleased to present the online exhibition Terry Rosenberg: An active meditation on the paintings of Edward Hopper from November 16, 2021 – December 23, 2021. The exhibition focuses on a new series of large-scale drawings Rosenberg has created in response to Hopper’s most iconic paintings. The original exhibition was curated by art historian Richard Kendall for the Hopper House Museum & Study Center. A catalog published by Smart Art Press in collaboration with Edward Hopper House Museum & Study Center includes 52 full color plates of drawings from the series and essay by distinguished art critic and poet Barry Schwabsky.
As Rosenberg describes it, “I dreamed of entering Hoppers paintings, while drawing their underlying dynamics as the experience unfolds”. Favoring responsive interpretation of the figures in their environments, Rosenberg draws gestural marks, lines, smudges, and erasures while minimizing exact portraiture, clothing, furniture and architecture of the mid 20th century. He transforms Hoppers paintings while maintaining their basic structure. Critics have characterized Hopper’s paintings as reflecting anxieties symptomatic of the modern era. Through the drawing experience Rosenberg explores Hopper’s spatial evocations of emotion and meaning.
Rosenberg is recognized for his paintings and drawings in response to the human body in motion, creating a synthesis of color, light, and dynamic structures. His ongoing exploration of drawing by itself and in relation to painting and sculpture is expressed in a New York Times art review citing Rosenberg’s “gift for drawing”. His work has been exhibited widely in the US and Europe in venues such as MoMA PS1, Whitney Museum of American Art, The Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Sao Paulo Bienal, and is included in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Walker Art Center, and Graphische Sammlung Albertina. Rosenberg lives and works in New York City.
