About the seller:
Lauryn Rodgers is a self-taught artist who has resided most of his life in southeast Michigan. Like many who have grown up in the shadow of the automobile capital of the world, he has been affected and influenced by the gritty, blue-collar, earthiness of industrial Detroit. His art clearly reflects his connection with automotive manufacturing.
Lauryn’s artistic endeavors are best described as combinations of assemblage art, mechanical sculpting and found object upcycling.  His work is highly industrial by design, utilizing parts from old machinery, vintage cash registers and transportation items while being juxtaposed with vintage doll parts, soft linens, leather and animal bones. His creations give the appearance of having been damaged from abuse, to have been discarded, then resurrected. They are intended to lead the viewer to curiosity, to discovery, possibly to a bit of controversy.
While many of his pieces foster reminiscence of the past, they also dispense an uninvited look into a dark unrecognizable future. Many of his pieces look to his faith, as they reveal and examine the activity of God.  Others examine current events as they speak of the issues, they speak of an evolving, concerning new world. Some pieces are simply created for the viewer's amusement. Regardless, all of his pieces demand further thought, or at minimum, a closer look.
