Ross von Rosenberg, 46, is a Dallas, TX based artist and designer that primarily works in acrylic paint, as well as other forms of mixed media. He grew up in Austin and graduated with a degree in Design Communication from Texas Tech University. Ross makes work that crosses and blurs the boundaries of the figurative, representational, landscape, architectural and the completely abstract; often blending across those spectrums as the work evolves in conversation with itself. Whether the more traditional, or the more experimental, all of Ross’ work is playing with visual juxtaposition, fragmentation, and forms of visual subversion to create senses of place, depth, and artistic tensions that range from purely aesthetic to more specific story telling arcs.Ross lives in East Dallas with his wife Lauren (with whom he is also partnered with in real estate), their newborn son Ezra, and their 2 dogs.
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.
