Rodgers late paintings are somehow reminiscent of Bret Easton Ellis novel Glamorama.

About Terry Rodgers:

“Rodgers’ current work focuses on portraying contemporary body politics. His rendering of the upper-class leisure life stands as an iconic vision of today’s society. The resulting paintings are not snapshots or slices of life, not verite records of actual moments in actual party or family situations, or diaristic records of his life, but carefully constructed and composited fictions, designed to elicit the most meaning and sustain the maximum amount of ambiguity.

Terry Rodgers attended Amherst College, with a major in the Fine Arts. His strong interest in film and photography influenced his style in the direction of representational realism in art.” (more)

Artist statement:

“Importantly, however, is that nothing I create is meant to judge or criticize. I am merely looking closely at who we are, the density of influences upon us, the choices we make, and the recognitions that occur in trying to comprehend a universe with no signposts.” (more)

Poster design by Cody Hoyt inspired by the book Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (1996). The poster was designed for the Kitsune Noir Poster Club which “feature curated prints by all kinds of artists & designers creating around central themes”. For the first round of posters, Bobby Solomon, editor of the blog Kitsune Noir “asked five of [his] favorite artists to interpret books they really enjoy into a print that will be a lasting work of art. The first collection of poster artists include Frank Chimero, Mark Weaver, Jez Burrows, Cody Hoyt and Garrett Vander Leun.” You can buy those posters over at Society6.
