Easy Tiger - John Rogers
Easy Tiger / 2024 / John Rogers (Pittsburgh, PA) / Acrylic on canvas / 8 x 10 inches / $100
John Rogers (b. 1984, Harrisburg, PA) is a self-taught artist based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Operating under the moniker Ghoulorama, Rogers has carved a niche for himself as a DIY artist and art-dealer hybrid, navigating the digital landscape with his Instagram account and web store. Born out of the late-capitalist era, Rogers's art reflects the amalgamation of personal experiences and the digital zeitgeist of the information age.
Rogers's journey as an artist is a testament to resilience and self-discovery. Despite facing setbacks and struggles, including battles with addiction and periods of academic uncertainty, Rogers found solace and purpose in the act of creation. Transitioning from writing to painting in his early twenties, Rogers's work embodies a unique blend of ominous yet humorous commentary on contemporary society.
Inspired by the chaotic and surreal nature of online spaces, Rogers's paintings are a visual exploration of the digital vernacular, where the personal and impersonal intersect in unexpected ways. Through his meticulous process of arranging images, words, and ideas, Rogers crafts artworks that serve as scathing critiques of late-capitalism, infused with gallows humor and a touch of irony.
