About Sea

This contemporary painting is an abstract rendering of the sea.

The infinite view of a prairie landscape has long influenced the contemporary artwork of Sasha Rogers. In this abstract painting, the Canadian artist masterfully uses colour, light and gestural brushstrokes to capture the natural beauty of the sea. Rendered in shades of blue, white and dark gray, the viewer’s eye is drawn toward the apparition of a ‘horizon line’. A signature of Rogers' work, the ‘line’ divides the canvas in two creating an upper and lower colour field.

“The line we think we see doesn’t actually exist in nature, the horizon line is a symbol invented to describe the in-between place of sky and land or sea and sky; it is an invented mark for an ambiguous state or liminal space.” Sasha Rogers
