Lives and works in La Saline Les Bains.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Terry Rossberg creates unique sculptures that transform old Singer sewing machines into miniature cars of remarkable precision and inventiveness. Each piece is meticulously crafted from metal, with the original sewing machine serving as the base for the assembly. His works reflect a fusion of craftsmanship and conceptual art.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The artist enjoys reinterpreting and reinventing old mechanical objects, breathing new life and meaning into them. Since childhood, he has had a passion for tinkering and inventing with whatever comes to hand. A serious accident his father suffered in Gabon when he was 17 put an end to his dream of attending the \u00c9cole Boulle. He was then forced to choose a career in sales\u2014a simpler path that would more readily provide for his daily needs and livelihood, yet one that also allowed him to continue drawing, modeling, and sculpting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI\u2019d been drawing quite well since I was very young, thanks to my mom, who painted. And I started tinkering, working on mechanics, and using tools as early as age 11 because my father would repair and build his own off-road vehicles to go into the forest or the bush in Libreville, Gabon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Terry Rossberg has a knack for seeing objects, characters, and sketches in everything that passes through his hands\u2014much like children who imagine another world while watching the clouds. He creates works that evoke the feeling of Proust\u2019s madeleine. Each one is unique. All incorporate the concept of recycling and highlight his commitment to individuality and ingenuity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":82,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-23003","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Terry ROSSBERG - Biography - Galerie Artima<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TERRY ROSSBERG - French artist born in 1963 in Montpellier - Car sculptures - Singer sewing machines - Recycling\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/galerie-artima.com\/en\/terry-rossberg-biography\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Terry ROSSBERG - Biography - Galerie Artima\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"TERRY ROSSBERG - French artist born in 1963 in Montpellier - Car sculptures - Singer sewing machines - Recycling\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/galerie-artima.com\/en\/terry-rossberg-biography\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Galerie Artima\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mulevosges\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-10-20T10:08:54+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/en\\\/terry-rossberg-biography\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/en\\\/terry-rossberg-biography\",\"name\":\"Terry ROSSBERG - Biography - Galerie Artima\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-10-15T13:52:13+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-10-20T10:08:54+00:00\",\"description\":\"TERRY ROSSBERG - French artist born in 1963 in Montpellier - Car sculptures - Singer sewing machines - Recycling\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/en\\\/terry-rossberg-biography#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/en\\\/terry-rossberg-biography\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/en\\\/terry-rossberg-biography#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Accueil\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/galerie-artima.com\\\/en\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Terry ROSSBERG &#8211;
