In Will Rogan's exhibition 'Night Holds All Your Heart' at Altman Siegel, the artist presents six intricate wall-mounted sculptures that thoughtfully challenge perceptions of reality and time. Each piece, featuring anthropomorphic faces, plays with dimensions and depth, inviting viewers to engage with them from various angles. The show draws inspiration from surrealist artist Rene Magritte, visible through motifs like smoke and clock parts, which highlight the tension between life, memory, and mortality. As visitors interact with the sculptures, they are encouraged to reconsider how they perceive time and the essence of artistic expression itself.
Rogan's work features sculptures that act as both masks and clocks, challenging our perception of reality and inviting us to rethink our understanding of time.
The sculptures' anthropomorphized features, including faces with pink noses and black hole pupils, create a dynamic character that shifts based on viewer perspective.
Rogan's art recognizes the tension between flatness and dimensionality, emphasizing that the relationship of the parts can yield a greater meaning than the individual elements.
Referencing Rene Magritte, Rogan's work weaves in surrealistic elements, as seen in the motifs of smoke and clocks, creating a layered conversation about art and perception.
