about

Rosenberg’s move to Cleveland in 2005 marked a significant change in both his personal life and his work. Having given up his framing business and art gallery in Washington, D.C., Rosenberg was able to paint full time, and further develop an already impressive body of abstract paintings. During his Cleveland years, Rosenberg’s abstract paintings, characterized by vibrant color, patterning and dense layering,became increasingly figurative with overlays of images from diverse sources. Old scientific illustrations, antique graphics, numbers, words in a variety of typefaces, references to the Social Realists of the 1930s, as well as both personal events and topical events of the day coalesced in his complex compositions. With their distinctive but intriguing narratives, his paintings offer a dynamic and enriching visual experience. This exhibition featured a selection of Rosenberg’s paintings and prints that were created while he was living in Cleveland. "Seth Rosenberg: The Cleveland Years" was curated by Margo A. Crutchfield and was generously underwritten by the Miller Goler Faeges LLP.
