Toby Rosser (b. 1952, New Milford, Connecticut) works in painting and sculpture, pursuing an approach to picture-making in which ambiguity and formal composition function as invitations rather than resolutions. His paintings resist singular readings — forms spin with their own internal velocity, occupying a space between suggestion and depiction, where the viewer's imagination completes what the painter withholds. Rosser received a BFA in Sculpture and Design from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York, where he studied under minimalist sculptor Carl Andre. He has maintained studios in New York, Connecticut, and Houston, where he is currently based. His work has been exhibited widely, including solo presentations at the Salisbury Art Center, Salisbury, Connecticut; Lift Trucks Gallery, Croton Falls, New York; and The Dumpling House Gallery, Houston, Texas. Group exhibitions include the Katonah Museum of Art, Katonah, New York; the Society of Illustrators, New York; and most recently The Deutser Studio Exhibit at 2000 Nance Street, Houston (2026). His work is held in private collections. Critic Phoebe Hoban, author of acclaimed biographies of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Alice Neel, has written of Rosser's work: its forms carry "sheer velocity," spinning within their own gravity while remaining rooted in a muted, meditative palette.Toby Rosser lives and works in Houston, Texas.
