Robert T. Rogers is a multidisciplinary artist focused on contemporary perspectives on mental health and spirituality. He draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to highlight the importance of aligning with one's values to boost motivation and manage moods and behaviors. Influenced by Christian ethics, he uses various mediums like oil painting, drawing, photography, and text to create multilayered projects that reflect the complexity of his subjects. Rogers’ oil paintings emphasize mark-making and explore color, shape, and gesture as a means of conveying emotion. The work invites an immersive experience that bridges personal and shared emotional realities. Subconscious painting and intuitive decision-making are central to his process, which often unfolds physically on the floor, as he moves around and rotates the canvas. Symbolic references to Western Christianity appear throughout, grounding the work in spiritual and cultural narratives.
