ART LABOR Gallery is very pleased to present Christy Lee Rogers’ latest creative photographic collection, “Human”, her third solo show in Shanghai, running from May 22nd to June 30th, 2021.
Like most during this trying year, Rogers has spent much time close to home. Fueled by the events around the world she's taken this opportunity to dive in to the latest of her underwater series, “Human” with which Rogers' depicts both the strength and vulnerability of humanity. First released online only, this will be the first time these works will be seen in a gallery.
The name human was selected to presuppose a coming together of humanity into a modern renaissance, kindled by adversity and tribulation, and flowering into unforeseen new realities. If art was a passageway into the soul and something more profound within ourselves, she reminds us of our own vulnerabilities within a landscape of hope and magic. In Rogers' unique way, she urges us to look beyond the finite boundaries of what's in front of us, and to see between the spaces into a new future.
All of her works are photographed in water, using the refraction of light to create painterly images, and often compared with Baroque and Renaissance paintings. The water within the images flows life to all areas, taking on bold curving forms and transforming everyday people into angelic creatures, seemly from some other place. In these works, Rogers hypothesizes the idea that if photons of light are without mass and only perceived because of the eyes, then there must be other things around us that we cannot perceive as of yet.
