Exhibition, Roger the Artist

Roger Anger was not only an architect but also an artist. His artistic manner echoes his architectural sensibility but with a freer and more unbound expression. His artworks testify to a deep, introspective journey, combining shapes, colours, and textures in a subtle and haunting way.

The current exhibition is a tribute to the different facets of his extraordinary, free, and joyful personality, and shows how essential art was in the artist's life and his memory.

Roger Anger's abstract work process, objects, and image asks questions, revises, and rewrites itself in the process of making. His artworks evoke a multitude of timeless gestures and iconic images but are positioned in a new context, generating a multifaceted combination of actions, methods, and possibilities that probe the full range of artistic expression. The artist aims to convey the complex, nature of the human experience through a harmonious ensemble, using a symphonic range of traces and lines. His art raises questions about the difference between thinking, seeing, and living.

Roger Anger further reduces his pictorial content and reaches a point of almost complete abstraction in this group of works; they are influenced by memories, feelings, and humor.

Throughout the works, the figures are arranged in an impressive natural structure that defines the dynamics of the painting. There is an impression of weightlessness and supernatural transparency given by Roger Anger to these semi-abstract figures. However, as they blend, their appearance and movements ultimately lend a visual monumentality to the depiction. Roger Anger's imagination matches this perfectly, both in terms of the surface and landscape, but it's a more personal recollection than a precise visual reference; it's vague, appearing and disappearing again.

Roger Anger, the artist, has moved to the interface between architecture and art.

His visions are not simple building structures, but poetic compositions of light, colours, and shapes. In a world that often draws boundaries between 'practical' and 'aesthetic', Roger Anger combined these two dimensions. His works are testaments to a deep sensitivity to beauty and its resonance with human emotion. With a fine balance between modernity and timeless aesthetics, he has transformed the material into living works of art that carry a universal quality that combines the specific and the infinite, the material and the ephemeral.
