Our current geological era is one giant crime scene and we’re all personally involved. It’s overwhelming at times, human nature in conflict with the natural world, a complex thrill and sorrow. I’m interested in harmony, has it ever existed? - Fawn Rogers

Fawn Rogers is an American multimedia artist whose multidisciplinary works explore power dynamics between human nature and the environment. Merging realism with conceptualism, her practice often highlights the tension between extinction and eroticism, a symbolic interplay of decadence and sustainability in contemporary society. Known for her large-scale oyster paintings exploring dualities such as beauty and violence, nature and industry, Rogers invites reflection on humanity’s complex relationship with the unbuilt world.

“I can’t help but to dismantle intrinsic value in my work. I think about harmonious things that are concentrated and sensual like the sea, the soil, the grass… In exploring them, I find a sense of freedom, a sense of empathy. I want to be present in the world that is being destroyed.”

Exhibited internationally in museums, galleries, and unconventional venues, her art challenges viewers to consider the contradictions shaping modern existence.
