Andrew Rogers 'Nothing out of something' 2023
Gesso on board
300 x 420mm
Andrew Rogers studied Fine Art at Central St Martins, developing his practice as an artist in the 1990s. He went on to pursue a successful career in the fashion industry (where he continues to work as a luxury fashion consultant) and has recently renewed his focus on developing art, with a solo show at Mills Fabrica, Kings Cross, London in 2022.
The artist first produces a smooth gesso surface into which he then punches, rubs, scratches and sands; there is a physicality in both the production of the gesso surface and the subsequent mark marking.
As a result, the works adopt a sculptural quality where the surface both appears to recede and project in different light. The works balance rebellion and anarchy with a quieter sense of meditation and nature. Light pools in the circular marks. Some works offer a planetary appearance, as though the marks are floating in a galaxy. Others bubble with the effervescence of water or the stillness of raindrops.
His work is in private collections.
