Once you view a Roger Smith sculpture you know he is a man who knows his subject. Roger’s training in taxidermy and taxidermy manikin sculpture is evident in his work. His knowledge of anatomy and his love for his subject adds a magical quality that brings his sculpture to life. Imagine a fawn nestled in the grass waiting for mama’s return. All the mechanics are there, the detailed representation of the subject, line, form and proportion. Yet there is something else; a hint of life, a spark that transforms cold bronze into a warm, nearly living creature.

Roger Smith may be an ordinary name but his work is anything but. A Roger Smith sculpture is extraordinary. See Roger in person at Main Branch Gallery, November 19^th, 2011 from 3:00 to 8:00 pm.
