Roger Rigorth

Symbolism is the basic of Roger Rigorth's work. A sculptural object or an installation illustrates a statement, a situation or an attitude. A story comes to life through the objects. The attributed meaning of form, which originates from our collective unconscious, fascinates him. The materials are chosen to trigger images in the viewer's mind and are as important as the form. Each viewer brings his or her own culturally shaped understanding while observing the artwork.

Roger Rigorth works with coconut fiber, paper and wood. These natural materials have their roots in the artist's proximity to nature, in his encounters with nature and his life in it. It shows the artist's ethnological interest, his fascination with old forms of working wood and his observation of nature. His goal is to clarify the form and aesthetics, and to illuminate the content, which illustrates the existential questions of human existence. His work The Luleå Conspirative Cells is about the intervention of nature in manmade buildings not only as an ecological, but also as a political statement.
