Sunday Evening Art Gallery — Rogan Brown

~ humoringthegoddess

Rogan Brown is a British artist based in France whose work explores the architecture of natural forms.

The artist studied at Goldsmiths’ College and holds an MA from Queen Mary University.

Brown’s method — cutting thousands of layers of paper either meticulously by hand or with the aid of laser technology — stands in stark contrast to the digital-native practices that dominate contemporary aesthetics.

Scientific illustration and model-making inspire his intricate paper sculptures, some of which take up to 5 months to complete.

The patterns and forms Rogan depicts may stem from nature, but on a bigger scale they take on an otherworldly look.

His labor-intensive process places him within a broader craft revival that challenges industrialization, speed, and mechanization.

His works, rooted in biology and ecology yet executed with obsessive handcraft and advanced laser cutting, situate him within a critical crosscurrent of contemporary art practice.
