Although Bob Rogers has retired from academic life as a University Lecturer who specialisied in three dimension artwork, he continues to sculpt at his Falmouth home and his small figures and ‘cityscapes’ attract a great deal of attention and admiration and are eagerly sought, especially as discerning gifts.
The Great Atlantic Galleries are pleased to be able to show Bob’s work, on which he has this to say ….
“Sculpture for me is chiefly about invention of forms and images, as it has been from 30,000 B.C. to the 20th century, whether in the idealised figures of ancient Greece, the spiritual images of India and medieval Europe, the endlessly inventive carvings of tribal Africa, or the playfulness of pre-Columbia Peruvian sculptors/potters.
“I like to work in high-fired clay (stoneware), modelling solid in the manner of sculptors rather than potters and firing rather than casting. I prefer working on a small scale, making sculpture that appeals to the hand as well as the eye - the amulet rather than the monument. This gives scope for a wide range of invention and experiment in imagery and form and a fairly rapid turnover of ideas.
“Being stuck for months chiselling away at one big idea has never appealed to me. Sculpture, Arturo Martini said, is a ‘dialogue with past’. I like that.”
