Description:
UNM’s Fine Arts and Design Library is hosting an exhibit of artwork by UNM student David Rogers. “Internal Landscapes” will be on exhibit in the Fine Arts and Design Library from January 19th – March 12, 2010. A reception will be held on January 29th from 6:30-8:00 pm. in the Fine Arts and Design Library. The exhibition is on view during the hours the library is open.
David Rogers grew up steeped in an artistic family tradition. On his mother’s side, there is the Wyeth/Hurd clan, and his British father, Peter Rogers, is also a painter. He started painting in oils at around seven or eight years old. These paintings were still-lifes (influenced by his grandmother) and copies of Rembrandt and Vermeer. His first one-man show was at the Santa Fe Office of the Mayor in 1979. He would continue to exhibit with his family in New Mexico, Texas and Pennsylvania until the early 90s. Rogers says, “at about fourteen, the work of the Impressionists thrilled me, and I tried to emulate Monet. My first portrait was commissioned by my teacher from the fifth grade who not only had cat-eye glasses but a deep purple bouffant hair-do.”
After graduating high school, he studied for several years at The Art Institute of Chicago. This enormously expanded his perspectives on art, and he was particularly excited by the German Expressionists, The New York School of Abstract Expressionism and the Neo-Expressionists. His work during this period certainly showed their influence. On his second trip back to Chicago, he ended up staying for sixteen years. During this period, he took part in seventeen exhibitions. Some of these were group shows but there were nine solo shows, the most prestigious being an exhibition of a figurative Tarot series at The Theosophical Society in Wheaton, Illinois. He also painted an abstract series based on the Kabbalah and one on the Nine Norse Worlds.
Although he still paints figuratively, his newest work in abstract. The paintings in this exhibition were executed during his final semester in Art History at UNM where he received a BAFA with honors. He is now nearing the completion of another BA in Media Arts.
Rogers says about his current work:
My new work is purely abstract. From the bones of form: circles, squares and triangles, I want to create a meditative state in the viewer. My paintings are not for glancing at; they are for exploring. Rather than what do they make you think, my question is how do they make you feel? Color and shape relationships are primary factors here. I want the paintings to dance in space and in harmony. I hope that one is transported to delight or contemplative states, for the paintings relate to internal emotional worlds. Influences on this series include Kasimir Malevich and Franz Kupka. These influences are not based on these artists’ intellectual theories, but on their strength of composition and color.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information please contact Susan Hessney-Moore at 7-5443 or smoore3@unm.edu.

His work during this period certainly showed their influence. On his second trip back to Chicago, he ended up staying for sixteen years. During this period, he took part in seventeen exhibitions. Some of these were group shows but there were nine solo shows, the most prestigious being an exhibition of a figurative Tarot series at The Theosophical Society in Wheaton, Illinois. He also painted an abstract series based on the Kabbalah and one on the Nine Norse Worlds.
Although he still paints figuratively, his newest work in abstract. The paintings in this exhibition were executed during his final semester in Art History at UNM where he received a BAFA with honors. He is now nearing the completion of another BA in Media Arts.
Rogers says about his current work:
My new work is purely abstract. From the bones of form: circles, squares and triangles, I want to create a meditative state in the viewer. My paintings are not for glancing at; they are for exploring. Rather than what do they make you think, my question is how do they make you feel? Color and shape relationships are primary factors here. I want the paintings to dance in space and in harmony. I hope that one is transported to delight or contemplative states, for the paintings relate to internal emotional worlds. Influences on this series include Kasimir Malevich and Franz Kupka. These influences are not based on these artists’ intellectual theories, but on their strength of composition and color.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information please contact Susan Hessney-Moore at 7-5443 or smoore3@unm.edu.

UNM’s Fine Arts and Design Library is hosting an exhibit of artwork by UNM student David Rogers. “Internal Landscapes” will be on exhibit in the Fine Arts and Design Library from January 19th – March 12, 2010. A reception will be held on January 29th from 6:30-8:00 pm. in the Fine Arts and Design Library. The exhibition is on view during the hours the library is open.
David Rogers grew up steeped in an artistic family tradition. On his mother’s side, there is the Wyeth/Hurd clan, and his British father, Peter Rogers, is also a painter. He started painting in oils at around seven or eight years old. These paintings were still-lifes (influenced by his grandmother) and copies of Rembrandt and Vermeer. His first one-man show was at the Santa Fe Office of the Mayor in 1979. He would continue to exhibit with his family in New Mexico, Texas and Pennsylvania until the early 90s. Rogers says, “at about fourteen, the work of the Impressionists thrilled me, and I tried to emulate Monet. My first portrait was commissioned by my teacher from the fifth grade who not only had cat-eye glasses but a deep purple bouffant hair-do.”

UNM’s Fine Arts and Design Library is hosting an exhibit of artwork by UNM student David Rogers. “Internal Landscapes” will be on exhibit in the Fine Arts and Design Library from January 19th – March 12, 2010. A reception will be held on January 29th from 6:30-8:00 pm. in the Fine Arts and Design Library. The exhibition is on view during the hours the library is open.
David Rogers grew up steeped in an artistic family tradition. On his mother’s side, there is the Wyeth/Hurd clan, and his British father, Peter Rogers, is also a painter. He started painting in oils at around seven or eight years old. These paintings were still-lifes (influenced by his grandmother) and copies of Rembrandt and Vermeer. His first one-man show was at the Santa Fe Office of the Mayor in 1979. He would continue to exhibit with his family in New Mexico, Texas and Pennsylvania until the early 90s. Rogers says, “at about fourteen, the work of the Impressionists thrilled me, and I tried to emulate Monet. My first portrait was commissioned by my teacher from the fifth grade who not only had cat-eye glasses but a deep purple bouffant hair-do.”
After graduating high school, he studied for several years at The Art Institute of Chicago. This enormously expanded his perspectives on art, and he was particularly excited by the German Expressionists, The New York School of Abstract Expressionism and the Neo-Expressionists. His work during this period certainly showed their influence. On his second trip back to Chicago, he ended up staying for sixteen years. During this period, he took part in seventeen exhibitions. Some of these were group shows but there were nine solo shows, the most prestigious being an exhibition of a figurative Tarot series at The Theosophical Society in Wheaton, Illinois. He also painted an abstract series based on the Kabbalah and one on the Nine Norse Worlds.
Although he still paints figuratively, his newest work in abstract. The paintings in this exhibition were executed during his final semester in Art History at UNM where he received a BAFA with honors. He is now nearing the completion of another BA in Media Arts.
Rogers says about his current work:
My new work is purely abstract. From the bones of form: circles, squares and triangles, I want to create a meditative state in the viewer. My paintings are not for glancing at; they are for exploring. Rather than what do they make you think, my question is how do they make you feel? Color and shape relationships are primary factors here. I want the paintings to dance in space and in harmony. I hope that one is transported to delight or contemplative states, for the paintings relate to internal emotional worlds. Influences on this series include Kasimir Malevich and Franz Kupka. These influences are not based on these artists’ intellectual theories, but on their strength of composition and color.
This event is free and open to the public. For more information please contact Susan Hessney-Moore at 7-5443 or smoore3@unm.edu.
