Andrew Rogers: Evolution
"From Maquettes to Major Sculptures 1996-2019
This exhibition, exploring the sculptures of Andrew
Rogers, Evolution: From Maquettes to Major Sculptures
1996-2019, enhances our understanding of how
sculpture can work on a smaller scale or be a study for
a larger work, something the University’s Contemporary
Small Sculpture Award explores each year.
As a significant sculptor with an international profile
who is based in Melbourne, it is important that Andrew
Rogers’ work and career be suitably acknowledged. A
prolific sculptor, his work in this exhibition is a tantalising
array of bronze, stainless steel and polyamide and is both
lyrical and enchanting, exploring the interplay between
the nature and formality of the object. Andrew has
generously supported the development of the exhibition
with the loan of many works from his private collection to
enable the visitor to see the genesis of an idea translated
to a large scale."
