Edo Rosenblith

Practice & background

Edo Rosenblith was born in Tel Aviv in 1988 and grew up largely in the United States. Based in St. Louis, he earned a painting BFA from RISD in 2011 and a Visual Art MFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2017.

Beginning in 2011, he posted a sketchbook page daily for two years. The sequence became PINK, published by Fort Gondo Press in 2013. Accumulated drawing makes the book a site of ongoing work rather than simply a container.

The Tower, begun in 2016, is an artist book made with acrylic on paper. Its official archive presents the cover and individual spreads, each approximately 22 × 15 inches. Dense figures and text can be followed across changing page rhythms.

Exhibition venues include the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, Kemper Art Museum, International Print Center New York and Germany’s Weserburg Museum. In 2017 he illustrated Paul Legault’s chapbook What Dorothea Did.

Comparing books and murals reveals a shift in scale, from close individual reading to an encounter within public space. The Art Value Lab interview adds accounts of elevated outdoor work and nighttime projection, reconnecting finished images to physical labor.

Looking at the work

Drawing supports a practice that moves between intimate book pages and murals produced in public settings. Cartoon language and narrative connect these scales. Compare how a line’s effect changes with its support and the viewer’s distance.
