About

Archie Rogers is a contemporary artist portraying the ambience and turmoil within the everyday. Depictions from day-to-day life spill onto empty pages, floating and combining into busy yet serene compositions. A cacophony of things, existence between urban chaos and rural calm. Working primarily with paper and found wood, Rogers explores a practice of drawing, carving, object-making, and painting.
