Terry Rodgers became famous for his hyper realistic paintings. Less known are his drawings that seem to be disturbing to some beholders at first sight. In comparison with his paintings and prints, his drawings are much rougher. But it's just those drawings by which Rodgers stages himself as a luxury spectacle. The physical beauty and the juvenile smoothness have vanished. Just rough shadows are left in the drawings of Terry Rodgers - they are the masterly downside and consequent basis of the paintings. Those drawings are one of the reasons for the convincing effect of the extravagant staging of the artist.
