Ross von Rosenberg has spent nearly twenty years making paintings that refuse easy categories. Working primarily in acrylic, and in the Fracture series, acrylic and paper collage, his work moves between the geometric and the organic, the architectural and the figural, always finding its center in the moment where structure and its opposite meet. The paintings are formally rigorous and emotionally driven, which is a harder combination to pull off than it looks.
von Rosenberg holds a degree in Design Communication from Texas Tech University and has been embedded in the Dallas arts community since getting into his first gallery show in 2005. His work has been shown at Art on Main, the Addison Conference Center, WAAS Gallery, Kettle Art, Art Basel and his commissioned installations include a site-specific piece for the Factory 603 building renovation in Dallas’s West End and a series of paintings for the Omni Hotel Dallas. His influences span the distance between pure abstraction and surrealism, from Mondrian to Tanguy, which is the breadth his own work travels. He lives in East Dallas with his wife Lauren and their son Ezra, where he is at work on what comes next.

Ross’s influences include: Jasper Johns, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Yves Tanguy, Frank Stella, Joan Miro, Jean Michel Basquiat, Andrew Wyeth, Ralph Steadman, Marcel Duchamp, Piet Mondrian, Robert Rauschenberg, Gerhard Richter, Salvador Dali, Francis Bacon, and Jackson Pollock.
