Summary
Calgary-based senior artist Bill Rodgers has been working for several years in an area he has carved out for himself that encompasses both personal and historical research, and a passion for the palimpsest: a document rewritten over an erased original. This publication features seven different series - mostly paintings - ranging in subject matter from the 1880s evictions of Irish farm tenants to motorcycle race tracks as seen from Google Earth. The more time one spends with this fascinating and beautiful work, the more layers of meaning are revealed. Some references are undoubtedly personal, but the larger sociological indicators and bits of text are universally accessible. Publication of an exhibition opening at the Kelowna Art Gallery and traveling to Nickle Arts Museum, Calgary. Several full-page colour plate and a three-page fold-out illustrate two original essays.0Exhibition: Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna, Canada (30.03.-30.06.2013).
