Richard Allen Morris and John Rogers at RB Stevenson in La Jolla

by Patricia Frischer


RB Stevenson celebrates his one year anniversary in this new glorious space and has been representing Morris and Rogers for more than 30 years.

Methodology and Process at RB Stevenson Gallery includes work by Richard Allen Morris and John Rogers in La Jolla until July 20, 2019. More info: 858.459.3917

I am a huge fan of Richard Allen Morris. He was one of our first SD Art Prize recipients and no one handles paint as well as this master of the thick and gooey. You have a chance to see more of his work at the MCASD  More Like a Forest: Paintings and Sculptures by Richard Allen Morris until Oct 27

He is coupled in this show with John Rogers who painstakingly puts together elegant totems constructed of corrugated cardboard. The material no longer looks fragile except when you rotate your view and catch the tiny little notches of air revealed by the precise angles of the cuts.
