Ché Rogers
|
Ché Rogers is a Taranaki based multi-disciplinary artist who creates paintings in which layers of colour are scratched through to reveal the metallic surface beneath. Using line, pattern and repetition, he strives to emulate the resonances, vibrations and oscillations of sound waves. With their symmetry, his paintings mirror the physical forms of a spinning vinyl record (particularly when he scratches into the surface of paintings), a luminescent compact disc or the quivering membrane on a speaker. Through this sonic aesthetic he creates an impression of motion or sound without actually making kinetic work.
Interconnectedness is a central theme in Ché Rogers work. Concentric circles radiate outward and contract inward. Each work pulses with energy and flow and brings to mind dynamic motifs found within nature such as; water ripples, oceanic waves and rays of the sun. Like rings inside a tree, his works evoke the passing of time and the layers of experience and growth acquired. Simultaneously, these symbols of circularity are like portals to realms beyond our backyard, into the cosmic, reminding us of our insignificant place in this vast, expanding universe. Ché is also a musician, with a foray into electronic music, this aural art form inevitably seeps into his visual arts practice. Ché is also influenced by the clean and simple design of mid-century minimalism, the playfulness of Op and Pop art, and the strong colours and abstract geometric structures of Russian Constructivism and the Orphism art movements. |
