Andrew Rogers a retrospective: Maquettes 1996 – 2015

29 May –
6 September 2015

Andrew Rogers has systematically developed the main themes of his full scale bronze sculptures through an extensive series of maquettes which on a similar scale present the variety and inventiveness of his practice. This retrospective exhibition will present these maquettes and allied small works to demonstrate the evolution of his various ideas and sculptural forms.

For Rogers his quest is to create and encode sculpture with spiritual meaning – to create a metaphor for the eternal cycle of life, growth and all the attendant emotions that colour and inform the human existence. Accordingly the main philosophical concept around which these works are gathered is the idea of the rhythm of life. Formalistically this abstract theme is conveyed through a matrix of energetic lines, evolving sequence of shapes and organically styled elements – they are a coda for time, change and existence.

McClelland acknowledges the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people of the South-Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we are placed.


We are a safe, welcoming space for all people.
