Info
Osvaldo Romberg

Osvaldo Romberg was born and raised in Argentina.  At the age of 6 he had generated his first work of art, a reproduction of a cat with oils on wood.  It was not to be the last.  Over the past five decades and on five continents, Romberg has produced a consistently goading body of work that tackles questions of analysis, interpretation and representation of art and art history.  His own history of translocation, between Argentina, Israel, Europe and the United States and his firm commitment to family and teaching are mirrored by an art practice forever playing with the basics of life, sex and death, and its more complex sensibilities, language and mythology.
