*** ANY AND ALL ARTWORKS ARE COLLABORATIONS WITHOUT EXCEPTION***

(STILL) The most controversial artist in Arizona.
THERE ARE NO ART VICTIMS. ONLY FASHION VICTIMS.

Rogo is an award-winning, internationally acclaimed illustrator and printmaker.

An Art Institute of Pittsburgh graduate in 1991, he has continuously created art while maintaining an unrelenting dedication to skateboarding and punk rock.

His work is a combination of several traditional artistic disciplines and digital production. He specializes in real-world use of crow quill, brush and ink, serigraph, and linoleum block printing. These original hands-on renderings are resized and reworked digitally into analog collages that combine exploitative public domain images and original photography.

Inspired by Pop Art masters Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg, along with low-brow poster maker Frank Kozik; he utilizes the lost art of serigraph. This medium serves as a conduit for a physical, tactile experience of black-and-white figure-ground representation, accompanied by neon colors all printed on high-end archival paper.

SMUT carries a dynamic visual experience of minuscule details and bold lines that captivate the viewer. It is a psycho-sexual Freudian encounter meshed with Jungian archetypes. Tragedy and car crashes equated with sexual overtones give way to an atrocity exhibition. An almost subconscious dreamlike narrative grounded in mass production, shifting between abstract expressionism and dadaism.

Rogo’s Artwork was featured in New Yorker Magazine, Hawaii 5-0 television series, and multiple skateboard companies, and he served as a personal photographer to legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk.
