Colin Rogers - Visual Artist

Background

  • I taught senior secondary art/design in South Australian schools for far too many years.  I now practice as a full time visual artist from my studio at Meadows in the Adelaide Hills.

  • My paintings and drawings cover a range of themes including Portraits, Landscapes and Natural History in a style that sits somewhere between realism, impressionism and illustration.

  • My sculptures, in ceramic or metal, are a little more whimsical, a bit cutting and often humorous.  They are certainly more abstruse.

  • I have staged several solo exhibitions including "Recent Antiquities" at the Newland Gallery as part of the 2002 Adelaide Fringe Festival and the "More Recent Antiquities" at the Hahndorf Academy.

  • I continue to participate in group exhibitions at various venues through my association with The Artist's Voice, The Strathalbyn Stationmasters Gallery and "Gallery M" at Marion.

  • I have had works selected for the Waterhouse Prize and the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize.

  • In 2005 I was awarded the "Best Regional Artist" at the Heysen Festival.

  • I have won several Peoples' Choice awards at both Strathalbyn and the Light Square Artists Fair and the "Outstanding Exhibit" at the 2007 Gallery M citizens exhibition.

  • Since 2002 I have secured many private commissions for portrait paintings, landscape paintings and sculptures.

I am a member of The Artist's Voice, an Association of Professional Visual Artists based in the Adelaide Hills.
