The story of visual artist KR Rodgers
The Day of the Hopeless Skeptic is a body of work by KR Rodgers about frustration, exhaustion, and feeling stuck in both personal life and society. The works come from visual diaries and experiments that reflect long periods of stress and waiting for change that never seems to come.
Most of the works are portraits. The faces look tired and emotional, showing a shared feeling of wanting a better future. These works suggest that stress, pressure, and anxiety are carried by the body, not just the mind.
Rodgers draws from his subconscious. The works focus on mood rather than clear stories, asking viewers to slow down, observe, and reflect. The exhibition is a declaration of dissatisfaction, but also a call to move forward. It suggests that nothing changes if we stay still.
The Day of the Hopeless Skeptic shows art as a way to face inner struggles, listen to one’s inner voice, and keep moving despite doubt and fatigue.
