Fawn Rogers is a Los Angeles-based contemporary multidisciplinary artist, whose practice explores environmental consciousness, social critique, and poetic symbolism. Through a refined visual language, Rogers elevates overlooked natural forms into profound reflections on fragility, resilience, and ecological interdependence. Her work bridges eco-feminist thought and systems theory, inviting viewers to reconsider the sacred intelligence of nonhuman life.
In Harmony Oyster and Oyster for Chet Baker, Rogers transforms a modest marine organism into a potent symbol. The oyster, rendered in oil on canvas with delicate brushwork and luminous textures, occupies the canvas with quiet reverence. It is neither purely realistic nor fully abstract, but a visual meditation on balance between softness and hardness, concealment and revelation, life and endurance.
Reflecting on our current environmental crisis, Rogers states: “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?”
Rogers’ work has been featured in solo exhibitions such as Come Ruin or Rapture at Galerie Marguo (Paris), Burn, Gleam, Shine at K11 MUSEA (Hong Kong), and Your Perfect Plastic Heart at Wilding Cran Gallery (Los Angeles).
