Christy Lee Rogers is a visual artist from Kailua, Hawaii. Her obsession with water as a medium for breaking the conventions of contemporary photography has led to her work being compared to Baroque painting masters like Caravaggio. Boisterous in color and complexity, Rogers applies her cunning technique to a barrage of bodies submerged in water during the night, and creates her effects naturally in-camera using the refraction of light. Through a fragile process of experimentation, she builds elaborate scenes of coalesced colors and entangled bodies that exalt the human character as one of vigor and warmth, while also capturing the beauty and vulnerability of the tragic experience that is the human condition.
Rogers’ works have been exhibited internationally and are held in private and public collections throughout the world. She has been featured in International Magazines, including Harper’s Bazaar Art China, Eyemazing, The Independent, Casa Vogue, Photo Technique and others. Rogers’ "Reckless Unbound" is currently housed at Longleat House in the UK; the stately home, which is the seat of the Marquesses of Bath and also home to Renaissance gems of the Italian masters, like Titan’s "Rest on the Flight into Egypt."
Photo Shanghai, Asia’s premier art fair dedicated to photography returns this September to the Shanghai Exhibition Centre. The fair will open to VIPs on 10 September and to the public from 11-13 September.
Since launching in 2014, Photo Shanghai has quickly established itself as mainland China’s most international art fair and is already shaping the relatively untapped market of photography collecting in China and across Asia. It is today a key date in the art calendar for those wishing to establish and extend their network across Asia. Photo Shanghai has set a new benchmark for fine art photography in the region and achieved huge success both in terms of sales and visitor numbers.
