Roger Wardin

Roger Wardin’s work conceals degrees of dissolution, dispersal and melting away. Wardin conducts concentrated examinations of pictorial space and materiality. It is often difficult to identify a perspectival arrangement in his paintings and the initial impression is one of a dissolved landscape. Wardin’s reduced, much-broken colour palette is applied in multiple layers and frequently fractured or even removed completely.
The scenarios bathed in brilliant light create atmospherically charged, in-between worlds from which both irritation and attraction emanate.
