Description
Sergio Roger’s practice posits a contemporary take on classical antiquity. Revisiting such familiar historical forms, Roger utilises antique linen and stuffing. Here, he has recreated the classical styling of the Ionic column, subverting the rigidity of the surface through his use of material, and rendering the architectural object in a new light.
With each playful homage, Roger encourages the viewer to reengage with history, taking the ubiquitous styles of the classical world and considering them anew. . At the same time, his textile works are executed with great technical skill, employing careful stitching techniques to capture the flowing forms of the original sculptures. Each of Sergio Roger’s works is unique and is created from the finest textiles, which mostly date back to the early 20th century: the artist himself carefully sources these materials from antique shops. Selected fabrics include antique linen and raw silk which bring history and soul into his work.
After graduating at Berlin Art Akademy, Sergio Roger returned to Barcelona where he currently lives and works. In recent years he has received prestigious awards including the Generation 09-Caja Madrid. He had previously collaborated with major auction houses and galleries around the world, including Christie’s Private Sales where he exhibited in December 2021. Starting in April 2023, Sergio Roger is working closely on a number of projects with Robilant+Voena; his works, so deeply rooted with our classical heritage, have a deep affinity with the Robilant+Voena philosophy and with the gallery devotion to the history of Italian art from classical antiquity to the present day.
