LaRissa Rogers Explores Migration in 'I'll Fly Away' Presentation

On view at LISTE Art Fair in Basel, Switzerland.

Events

LaRissa Rogers‘ new body of work, ‘I’ll Fly Away,’ is being shown at LISTE 2024 at booth 62 by Super Dakota, exploring themes of migration through the lens of excess and leisure, challenging ideas of access and privilege.

Inspired by Fragonard’s 1767 painting ‘Les Hasards Heureux de L’Escarpolette’ (‘The Swing’), Rogers delves into the racial and gender implications of this iconic 18th-century French artwork. The Rococo era’s indulgent themes and detailed style, exemplified by Fragonard, catered to the aristocracy’s desires. Commissioned by French court member Baron Louis-Guillaume Baillet de Saint-Julien, the painting symbolizes the frivolous pleasures of the elite, a context Rogers critically examines in her work.
