ABOUT THE ARTWORK

It is what it is - an unsolvable equation. A picture unique because it arose from nowhere. A picture that says everything and nothing. A picture that will never die, but keep on resonating for as long as it exists. I choose charcoal because it moves like paint beneath the fingers, and has the widest range of tones. The colors are a combination of gouache with colored pencil highlights

Before he became a singer and songwriter in the late ‘70’s and ‘80’s, Roger was an art student at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Of that time he says, "I think I was too young to understand what I was trying to do with my visual work … which is why, when I left art school, my focus switched to the more facile satisfaction of drawing cartoons for various underground publications, and singing and writing songs with my band …” After a successful ten years Roger left the music industry in the ‘90’s, and went into a period of review, spending a number of years practicing Vipassana meditation in monasteries throughout SE Asia “… it was during this time that a core fascination began to form itself within me, an aesthetic principle that I needed to pursue, which could only be expressed visually. Trouble was, I got diverted into writing books, which took up the next couple of decades.” During that time, Roger wrote two non-fiction books about meditation, and two novels, both of which were published – ‘Levin’s God’ and ‘Happy to Burn’. “I had to get all the words and ideas out of my head so I could settle into the more intuitive process of making pictures …” Since then he has focused on making drawings ... "each one leading the the other, along a trail to I don't know where ..." Though he is shit at self promotion, his drawings have attracted many buyers, though he is largely reticent to part with them. "...I think I'd prefer to sell high quality limited edition prints, but I'd like to keep working for a while, until I understand more of the technicalities of what I'm doing ... early days yet ..."
