Roland Rockwood

Roland Pasquale Rockwood

(b. Bronx, New York). Roland began drawing the human figure drawn to its fragile lines at an early age. He studied anatomy and figure drawing at the National Academy of Design in New York under the renowned art instructor and author Terence Cole, who taught at the Art Students League in New York as well. During this time, Roland was also part of the Graffiti revolution where subway trains and walls were his expressive canvas. In 2009, Roland was featured in the Graffiti book “SENTO The Fantastic Partners” published by From Here To Fame Publishing. In 2014, Egberto Almenas, PhD. A former tenured professor and senior research associate in art and literature, and currently a docent at the Orlando Museum of Art published a book called “Time Capsules, The Contemporary Art Scene in Central Florida and Beyond”. Roland’s paintings were displayed in the book with commentary under the section; Reconstruction and Constructivism.

Roland hopes that his paintings can bring order to chaos and be a place of refuge for humanity.

National Academy of Design, N.Y., master class/study in figure drawing. Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University - Purdue University, oil painting. Roland is also a U.S. Navy veteran and holds a Bachelor and Master of Business Administration.
