Rogan Gregory’s (b. 1972) work reflects his life-long interest in abstract forms, geology, ecological systems, evolutionary
biology, and the impact of humans on the natural environment. Inspired by the ways in which elements and the
continuum of time shape our world, Gregory works repetitively, emulating the recurring developmental processes of life.
In his practice, Gregory meditates on line and proportion to achieve incongruous balance and asymmetrical harmony;
ultimate truths in nature. He works in a wide range of time-honored materials such as stone, bronze and wood, pairing
these known materials with those less familiar to develop aggregated surfaces that elude simple classification. This
process is best realized in Gregory’s Fertility Form series, where he sculpturally interprets the cycle of life—fertilization, cell
division, and subsequent processes— to create functional objects that take on a presence of their own. The artist has also
begun to experiment with upholstery, using shearling to further encourage physical engagement with his work and defy
the boundaries between art, design, and sculpture. Altogether, Gregory shows a unique mythos that is elegantly executed
through minimal forms and distinct materials, seamlessly translated into sculptural and functional pieces.
“An essential aspect of my work is about bringing nature back into our lives,” says Gregory. “We have become really
separate from the environment and from each other…as so many aspects of our daily experiences are mediated through
flat screens. My work reintroduces organic forms, textures and colors into our uniform, rectilinear environments. In doing
so, I hope to evoke joy, and emotion more broadly, to encourage new connections to and awareness of nature because it
is critical to our lives, to our health, and to our conversations about sustainability...”
All of Rogan Gregory’s works are hand made and available for custom order with a 12 to 22 week lead time, dependent
upon the design and material availability. Custom pieces ship from Santa Monica, California.
