Ché Rogers is a multidisciplinary artist who blurs the lines between art, design, photography, film and sound. Influenced by mid-century minimalism, Op and Pop art movements, Rogers uses circular motifs and dynamic patterns found in nature, such as oceanic, sonar and sound waves. His recent work features: light-reflecting circular paintings made by scratching a canvas rotating at high speeds to reveal shiny metallic beams; domestic/industrial light sculptures that play with proportion by balancing glass spheres; and video works that dabble with artificial intelligence. He lives and works in Ngāmotu, Aotearoa New Zealand where you can catch him producing live beats for Ché & the Revolution or on the bass in post-punk, shoe-gaze inspired 4-piece, Late for Life Drawing. Rogers’ work can be seen in Auckland at Black Door Gallery in Parnell, Flagstaff Gallery in Devonport and The New Zealand Art Show in Wellington in early June 2024.
