biography
Rosalind Tallmadge (b. 1987) is recognized for her multi-textured paintings incorporating manmade materials such as sequins and glass beads, with mica and metal leaf, creating surfaces that are evocative of substances found in nature, like tree bark or metamorphic rock. Using sequin fabric as her canvas she references the feminine body, costume, and the fashion industry within the framework of monochrome and color field painting, a historically male-dominated field.
Tallmadge, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a multi-media artist, currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Her work is in multiple private and public collections and has been exhibited widely in New York, Detroit and Chicago. Most recently, she was included in the 2021 exhibition, With Eyes Opened: Cranbrook Academy of Art since 1932, Cranbrook Art Museum, Bloomfield Hills, MI. She has received numerous awards and residencies including the Oxbow School of Art, the DNA Residency, Provincetown, MA and the Yale Summer School of Art, New Haven, CT. Rosalind Tallmadge has a BFA from Indiana University, Bloomington, IL, 2010 and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, 2015.
