Terry Rodgers is an internationally recognized artist who has worked and lived in Massachusetts, Washington, DC, and Ohio. In 2005, three of his monumental figurative canvases were presented at the Valencia Biennial. Abroad he has had solo exhibitions in galleries in Amsterdam and Milan, and participated in group shows around the world. He will have a solo gallery exhibition in Zurich in 2007. In the United States, he has had solo gallery exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Chicago. Over the past few years, he has also exhibited at numerous museums in the US including the Jacksonville Museum of Modern Art, the Bakersfield Museum of Art, the Erie Art Museum, the Mobile Museum of Art, and the Midwest Museum of American Art. Abroad, his work has been exhibited at the Stedelijk Museum-Hertogenbosch, the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung in Munich, the Museum Franz Gertsch in Burgdorf, and will be exhibited at the Kunsthal Rotterdam in 2007. Rodgers has been featured in numerous publications in America and abroad including Die Welt, Art in America, Citizen K, German GQ, Kunstbleed, and FLAUNT to name a few. And his book, The Apotheosis of Pleasure, published by TORCH Books of Amsterdam, was released December 2006. Rodgers’ current work focuses on portraying contemporary body politics. His rendering of the upper-class leisure life stands as an iconic vision of today’s society. The resulting paintings are not snapshots or slices of life, not verite records of actual moments in actual families or party situations, or diaristic records of his family life, but carefully constructed and composited fictions, designed to elicit the most meaning and sustain the maximum amount of ambiguity. Terry Rodgers attended Amherst College, with a major in the Fine Arts. His strong interest in film and photography influenced his style in the direction of representational realism in art.
