Robert T. Rogers is a multidisciplinary artist focused on contemporary views of mental health and spirituality. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, he highlights the importance of aligning with one's values to boost motivation and manage moods and emotions. Influenced by Christian ethics, Rogers uses various mediums like oil painting, drawing, photography, and text to create multilayered projects that reflect the complexity of his subjects. His oil paintings emphasize mark-making and explore color, shape, and gesture to convey emotions. He aims for an immersive experience that connects his experiences with the viewer's. Central to Rogers’ practice is subconscious painting and intuitive decision-making, often working directly on the floor. He references Western Christianity symbolically.
