"Abstractions" by Spencer Rogers
Elephant Room is excited to present another off-site exhibition of art by a local, emerging artist. “Abstractions”, a solo exhibition of paintings by Spencer Rogers runs this summer at Edenhurst Studio located at 729 S Clark St. on the 2nd Flr. The area, known as Printer’s Row, is just 5 blocks west of Elephant Room. Call Kim at 708-369-4742 or email kim@elephantroomgallery.com to schedule an appointment.
Spencer Rogers’ newest series of paintings celebrate the notions of freedom, possibility and choices that are inherent in the complex process of creating abstractions. He possesses an unrestrained method of accumulating multitudes of layers, akin to Gerhard Richter’s squeegeed abstractions, and works by freely altering and eradicating his choices. The artist’s physical involvement with the work is central, and it’s in the process where joy, freedom and focus flourish. Action exists in art regardless of medium, and is the basis of creation, which Rogers emphatically illustrates with these investigations that question the notion of doing. The cause and effect of his movements are transposed onto the canvas resulting in a series that is unapologetic in its existence.
For the first time during this exhibition, Rogers has combined his large format abstract painting with macro photography in order to create a series entitled “Modern Abstractions”. These images focus on some of the finest details found within the abstract paintings that are worth spotlighting, and will be available in a variety of sizes printed on museum quality plexiglass acrylic. “I enjoy working with the latest technology in image capture, processing and printing techniques to create the large macro acrylic pieces of the details. It’s a great time to be making this kind of artwork.” - Rogers
