Liminal Spaces
Sasha Rogers has been a professional painter for over 20 years. Although she has not lived in the prairies since the beginning of her career, she has not lost the influence of the vast expanses and endless horizon lines experienced from the landscape of her up bringing. Rogers sees her artwork as a continual exploration and dialogue with physical and visual concepts of space. It is important for her to create an entrance and exit, or in other words, a “portal” for the viewer to move into the depth of her horizon that separates the bottom and top color fields of her paintings. Her work suggests balance between different states, whether it is a reference to atmospheric conditions or the movement of water, a philosophical questioning of states of existence, or through an aesthetic rendering of color field imaging.
Rogers' works has been influenced by the work of William Turner, Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Antoni Tapies, and her father Otto Rogers. What collectively draws her to these great artists is their dedication to evocative metaphors rather than literal descriptions. She states, "They invite rather than prescribe."
Sasha Rogers received her Masters of Painting in 1987 and was a painting instructor for twelve years. She has been primarily focused on solo exhibits and international art fairs and is in numerous private collections in the Canada, the USA and Europe.
