ROBERT FOGELL | Elements
Acrylic on Panel
42 x 60 cms / 16½ x 23½ inches
Robert Fogell’s Study for Elements explores the illusion of depth through a precise orchestration of planes and angles. Cool blues and greys are fractured by warm notes of ochre and red, guiding the eye towards a vanishing point of light. The composition suggests the formal elements of architectural space and sculptural construction reflecting a moment of transition where form, shadow and colour converge into quiet spatial tension.
Robert Fogell initially trained in sculpture conservation under the artist and conservator Paul Giudici. Fogell’s original focus was on classical and modern stone. He carried out restoration work for private and public collections, including the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, English Heritage, and the National Trust. Having trained at Warwick University, Fogell took a teaching post at Leicester University. Combining art education and his studio practice has formed a rewarding journey for Fogell, who acknowledges a reciprocal relationship between teaching and his own creativity. The crux of Fogell’s work is its simplicity. He explores the interaction of sculptural geometry, symmetry, and proportion in experimentation with positive and negative space. In each sculpture, organic forms converge in an interplay of rhythmic harmony. Building up from small maquettes, Fogell’s works utilise a combination of bronze, stone, steel, and mixed media.
