Rodger Stevens
b. 1966, New York, United States
Rodger Stevens is an American artist and sculptor whose principal medium is wire. His work, while abstract in nature, is firmly rooted in a deeply personal narrative and draws heavily upon literature, language, mathematics, human physiology, and day-to-day experiences.
Rodger's attention to line and narrative has led to a body of work that operates like a language of glyphs: aesthetically rich in appearance, and conceptually rewarding upon closer inspection. His hand-crafted sculptural works and wearable pieces embody carefully wrought stories and ideas that are articulated through composition and form.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Rodger studied at the Parsons School of Design and the School of Visual Arts in New York City and is now an internationally exhibited artist with work in numerous private and institutional collections. Commissions include The Whitney Museum of Art, The American Folk Art Museum, PS1, Tiffany & Co., Barneys, Sothebys, Starbucks, Nike, West Elm, and The W Hotel, among many others.
