Early life

[edit]

Sternberg was born in Richmond, VA and grew up in Saratoga, CA. He spent his early life drawing endlessly, but hated the concept of being told how to perceive art, hence his educational pursuits led to B.A. degrees from Villanova University in business, and a Juris Doctor from American University. While at American, Sternberg received the university's Highest Award for Scholarship at the Graduate Level.[2] He hung oil paintings in a bar in his spare time as a student at American.[3]

Career

[edit]

Cole Sternberg lives and works in Los Angeles.[4] His practice touches a range of formats including painting, installation, video, and writing. Series of his work has focused on a variety of social issues, from current human rights activism and its relationship to the law, to the environment, to the media and concepts of content overload.

The works tend to be subtle or subversive in nature, driven by elegant visual concepts and poetry. He is interested in the intersection between humanity and humankind and how their lack of congruity hinders social progression and development.
