Roger McErlane has great love for the built world, things that man has made in context with natural conditions. Orchards, man crafted agriculture, terraced stone walls, fields, sheds and barns—the creation of beautiful places and things in nature. Each one of these that’s worth seeing and remembering was crafted with a clear design intention from the existing opportunities at hand. His art comes from this same place. First, a broad concept. This is then defined into a structural framework which gives power and life to the finished painting. In his work, you can see all of these elements.
