Spencer Rogers
Spencer Rogers has the ability to engage the flow state of mind.
He creates original works of modern abstract art using his sensitivity to, and appreciation for sonic energy. He has developed a unique process in which he uses music to engage in the flow, where his creativity thrives.
He began his education in Chicago, studying painting and photography at Loyola Academy and graduated with a BA in Fine Arts at the University of San Diego. He took the time his junior year to study abroad at the Art Institute in Florence Italy. Spencer credits that experience as cementing his commitment to the creative life. In his twenties, Spencer spent time traveling as a professional musician while living in Los Angeles. These elements combined to form Spencer into the artist he is today; merging all his creative talents: painting, photography and music. Inspired by the great Gerhard Richter, and grateful for the emotion evoked by the love of his family, Spencer, his wife and son moved back to settle in Chicago. Spencer Rogers Fine Art was born.
Spencer's painting style has evolved out of his passion for both art and music. With music loudly filling his studio, he allows the music to be his guide, providing a unique approach to each canvas on which an original, one of kind work is created. Spencer's paintings are wildly choreographed "concerts on canvas" that intend to spread awareness of the flow state while inspiring thinking on the nature of energy, reality, and the human experience. His work provides a unique, ever changing focus to interpret individually and enjoy repeatedly.
And BTW he’s charming, handsome, and hilarious:) Go Cubs!
