Andrew Rogers

Born in 1947, Melbourne contemporary artist Andrew Rogers is internationally recognised for creating sculptures and monumental sized Land Art in 16 countries across the world. Rogers is a self-taught artist and originally began sculpture as a leisure activity before practicing professionally after 1990.

Rogers’ practice embodies open-form abstract sculptures and geoglyphs with the work often responding to geographical environments and using symbols inspired by ancient stone carvings. The Land Art works consist of stone columns and large-scale images created on the ground with lines of stones. Rogers work explores the metaphors of the universal cycle of life, regeneration and the human pursuit of spirituality.
