The Articulation of Longing. 2004.
Oil on canvas.
Lower right signed and dated. 142.5 x 182.5 cm (56.1 x 71.8 in). [CH].
• Rodgers makes the viewer a voyeur of a sexually charged, decadent orgy on a larger-than-life scale.
• Owing to their fascinating attention to detail, Terry Rodgers' hyper-realistic, large-format and often multi-figure works resemble monumental history paintings.
• Rodgers paints the abysses and the hypothermic appearance of a decadent and loveless American upper class society.
• Rodgers masterfully contrasts material wealth, luxury and sexual tension with the emotional emptiness and lack of relationships of his protagonists.
• In recent years, Rodgers' works have been exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Bern and the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern, the Kunsthalle der Hypo-Kulturstiftung in Munich, the Museum Weserburg in Bremen and the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Landesmuseum, Schloss Gottorf, in Schleswig, among others.
• The comprehensive catalog "Terry Rogers. The works 1962-2023" (Torch Gallery) was published a few months ago.
PROVENANCE: Primo Marella Gallery, Milan.
Private collection Monaco (acquired from the above in 2004).
