Artist Max Rosen
Growing up, Max Rosen’s only goal in life was to be an artist. After attending LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and studying animation at the School of Visual Arts in the 1970s he landed a year-long apprenticeship with acclaimed artist Robert Grossman. Then, discouraged that he’d never make it professionally, he burned his entire portfolio of work, and produced no art for the next 40 years.
But three years ago, in a burst of feverish creativity, Rosen came back with vengeance. He began creating a large body of compelling work including “Defective Characters,” a unique alphabet with true mass appeal.
Rosen never expected to display his art publicly until friends urged him to show it to gallery owners. Now he is represented by two galleries: Philippe Labaune Gallery in Chelsea, and Picto NYC in Brooklyn. Rosen’s work is in the permanent collection of The Museum of Graffiti in Miami, and in many private collections.
Rosen’s first solo gallery show is a charity benefit with all profits donated to Achievement First Public Charter Schools to fill the gap in arts education funding.
Achievement First opened its first public school in Brooklyn in 2005. Twenty years later, it now serves 14,000 students across 24 public charter schools in Brooklyn and Queens.
Rosen dedicates his fundraising efforts to his mom, famed classical musician Judith Davidoff, who passionately volunteered teaching music at public schools over the course of her long career.
