Zoya Tommy Contemporary Gallery and ArtHouston are pleased to announce Snail Trail, a solo exhibition introducing emerging Houston artist Scott Rosenberg. The opening reception will be Friday, July 11th, from 6:00 – 8:30 pm and the show will run through Saturday, August 9th. 

Scott Rosenberg’s ceramic and mixed-media sculptures border on the fantastic. While deceptively crude and sometimes messy, he sculpts with purpose and sophistication, creating works that are enigmatically fun and playful but with hints of a lurking moodiness underneath.

With Snail Trail Rosenberg presents aspects of your average middle class garden intermixed with ancient pottery designs and seemingly banal everyday found objects mingled together, suggesting greater concepts such as male and female, life and death. Rosenberg rarely overthinks his work, however, creating pieces that lack pretention and avoid complex metaphors.

Scott Rosenberg was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin. He earned his BFA in ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2005 and his MFA from University of South Florida in 2012. Scott went on to participate in several residencies-one at Southern Methodist University in Dallas Texas, and a second in rural Napa Valley at Richard Carter Studios. Having traveled and studied abroad, he gathered experience and inspiration in New Zealand, Poland, and the Czech Republic.

Having exhibited in NY, CA with the Tompkins Project, as well as in TX and across the US, Rosenberg now currently lives and works in Houston, TX where he continues to make ceramic and mixed-media sculpture. This will be his first solo show with Zoya Tommy Contemporary.

ArtHouston is an annual summer event promoting Fine Art Galleries in Houston, TX. A day-long event, it will be the busiest day of the year with many galleries holding evening receptions. A wide range of work will be on display, from realist to abstract paintings, sculpture, mixed-media constructions, drawings and works on paper, collage, and photography. The featured artists are both emerging regional talents and established artists from around the world.
