The Bragartist Q&A with Ian Rogers
THE work of Ian Rogers is somewhat difficult to explain fully, but it's beautifully summarised by the man himself as: "Working out hand, eye, heart coordination". Ian's figurative compositions explore a number of themes, all of them getting right up to the edge of the abyss, it seems. Men in hats, ghoulish abominations spurting blood and bodily fluids compete with acres of flesh, topped with smiling faces. Intrigued? You will be when you delve into The Bagartist's Q&A with the man himself.
"Hey, mind my carpet, pal!" |
When did you discover art?
Is your art work or play?
Art is of life so it will have all the drudgery and joy of work as well as the frivolity and inquisitiveness of competitive and non-competitive play.
Describe what you do?
Following the loss of my studio work in an art warehouse fire in London, while I was moving home, I stopped working on paper and canvas and turned instead to digital work. Primarily photography and then gradually beginning to work with a variety of drawing/painting apps.
"I told you, put that cat out!" |
From where do you draw inspiration?
Everywhere I look is beautiful until its not....which might sound trite but I hope not....existence is the poetry of stuff. Being brought up in Africa, the son of working class white parents the politics of class, colour and ideologies infiltrated my every pore. My inquisitiveness and need to explore science, sex and sentiment are boundless and I am awed by my own and others stupidity. Consequently inspiration is everywhere.
Tell us about your workspace?
My workspace is the size of what ever pad/tablet i have access to.
What contemporary artists' work do you like?
I like some of the work of many artists.
