Fawn Rogers is an American contemporary multidisciplinary artist.[1][2][3] She works within painting, photography, video, and sculptural installation. She has work shown in museums and galleries, alongside non-traditional locations on four continents.[4][5]

Work[]

In 2014 Rogers' works from "Visible Light" and paintings from "I Love You And That Makes Me God," were on view at HATCH,[6] while a version of "I Love You And That Makes Me God," was displayed as a 50-story LED public installation on the American Eagle building in Time Square, New York.[7]

Rogers' first solo gallery exhibition, "Violent Garden", opened on September 9, 2017 at The Lodge Gallery in Los Angeles.[8][9]

SUBJECT (2016)[]

In 2016, Rogers debuted "SUBJECT" at MOAH (Museum of Art and History) in Lancaster, California.[10][11] "SUBJECT" was inspired by a produce truck driveshaft and the most fertile soil (Terra Petra) found in California. The installation created a propositional composition of a closed system with man-made objects, nature and the by-product of biotechnology. Rogers invited viewers to watch super weeds grow from the soil under the resurfaced produce truck drive shafts where organic and inorganic compounds slowly reach chemical equilibrium through the sedimentation of time, as nature gradually re-established its ecological balance beyond our existence. As part of the installation Rogers had invited 52 California artists to represent produce currently farmed in California as works of art on a deck of oversized playing cards.[11][12][13]

Hero (2015)[]

"Hero", a live stream video installation from July 31 through August 6, 2015 featured a live rat in a glass tank chewing on a pile of $20 bills, with a coalescence of digital imagery in the background. The work questioned how America creates heroes, and drew on Jackson as the force behind the Native American Removal Act and his extreme wealth accrued through slavery.[14]

Court (2015)[]

In May 2015, Rogers debuted "Court" at NADA (New Art Dealers Alliance) Art Fair and at Select Art Fair in New York City, during Frieze Art Week.[15][16][17][18] "Court" is a series of 54 original acrylic and graphite paintings featuring images of art collectors chosen at random. Each collector is presented as a playing card. "Court" debuted as both standard decks of playing cards and oversized playing cards at NADA Art Fair and Select Art Fair during the 2015 Frieze Art Week in New York City.[19][20][21][22]

I Love You And That Makes Me God (2014)[]

"I Love You And That Makes Me God" is video art exploring the themes of convictions, power, and intimacy.[23] The project includes vast range of participants who are filmed as they each state the expression, "I love you and that makes me god."[7]

In 2014 Rogers presented a text version of "I Love You And That Makes Me God" on a 50-story LED light installation in Times Square using the facade of the American Eagle Building. KCET reported the words lit up Time Square, "taking this very intimate statement and giving a powerful public presence."[7]

Visible Light[]

"The "Visible Light" series are images created by natural projection of electromagnetic light through purified water using a 4-foot vertical prism, then photographed with a high-powered lens.[7] Each image represents a few millimeters of light taken from the original photographs, then enlarged up to 25 feet onto various archival substrates.[24] Rogers created site specific works from the series for the Alexandria Care Center, which houses Medicare patients.
