Michael Rodriguez è un artista nato nel 1964 a Miami e residente a New York City. Attivo dagli anni Ottanta, il suo lavoro si sviluppa attraverso una ricerca legata ai linguaggi dell’astrazione contemporanea e alla cultura visiva americana.
Ha conseguito un B.F.A. presso la Florida International University nel 1989 e un M.F.A. al Brooklyn College nel 1992. Nello stesso anno ha partecipato alla prestigiosa Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
Nel corso della sua carriera ha presentato mostre personali a New York, Miami e Parigi, collaborando con gallerie e spazi espositivi tra cui Oliver Kamm / 5BE Gallery, Galerie G-Module e Feature Inc. Il suo lavoro è stato incluso in numerose mostre collettive negli Stati Uniti e in Europa, presso istituzioni e spazi come lo Smart Museum of Art e il Museum of Contemporary Art di Miami.
Ha ottenuto diversi riconoscimenti e le sue opere fanno parte della collezione del Museum of Modern Art di New York.
