Born 1958. Graduated from Liverpool Art School 1981 and achieved Diploma in Post-Graduate Studies at Royal Academy Schools 1985. In the words of art critic Brian Sewell, Rogers “handles oil paint with the deft flickering touch of a pastellist, never heavy handed, at times more French than English, as though a pupil of Roussel. Indeed he epitomises the aims of the New English Art Club when it was founded a century ago - the emergence of a fresh and personal vision from the perfect blend of English and French traditions.” His work has been shown by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Society of British Artists. He has been living and working in Boscastle, Cornwall since 1986. He has taken part in numerous solo and group exhibitions and won the following major awards: David Murray Landscape Scholarship (1981, 83, 84), Royal Academy Landseer Prize (1983, 84)and in 1985 was selected by Brian Sewell as one of 7 outstanding prospects.
