Brooklyn-based artist Kent Rogowski, featured in our Summer Reading show, is speaking to viewers with neon lights. Much like walking down Times Square, Rogowski's lights are captivating, however, unlike the sometimes wincing effect of city advertising, his neons induce calm with reassuring catch phrases. The piece featured in the show states: Someday It Will Happen, something I'm sure we all mutter to ourselves at least once a day.
Also, one of his fantastical prints from Love = Love, Untitled #10, is featured on 20x200 and still available in the 11" x 14" and 30" x 40" sizes.
Rogowski's earlier project Bears, takes the idea of soft and cuddly teddy bears and flips it inside-out...literally.
Most recently, Rogowski has started the non-profit, Scaffold Fund, offering fellowships for emerging and mid-career artists.
Using a variety of mediums from lights to teddy bears, Rogowski is speaking to us by taking our everyday concepts of ordinary subjects to a higher level of consideration.
