Doris Nogueira-Rogers
FORM & CONTENT
ON View: November 15, 2024 - March 1, 2025
Taller Puertorriqueño is proud to present DORIS NOGUEIRA-ROGERS: FORM & CONTENT, a new show by the artist Doris Nogueira-Rogers—her first solo exhibition in Taller’s new building.
Nogueira-Rogers, based in Woodbury, NJ, was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She has been ubiquitous in the Philadelphia artist community for 46 years and has shown widely. She has worked in various mediums, including textiles, linoleum blocks, canvas, ceramics, and installations. Her work has often been political, addressing social inequity, nature, and environmental justice while remaining colorful, bright, evocative, and almost optimistic in their presentation. In her visual discourse, she uses nature-derived abstract compositions set against rich colors and shapes to create “forms” that hold deep symbolic meaning.
In her new show, FORM & CONTENT, Nogueira-Rogers created installations and two-dimensional work for audiences to journey through and experience. This new show highlights rarely-seen works whose themes resonate profoundly with our time.
About Doris Nogueira-Rogers
Born in 1951 in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She attended the School of Fine Arts, Federal University, Rio (BFA 1973), where I earned a degree in Art and Design and Interior Design. Doris has made her home in Philadelphia and then Woodbury, NJ, since 1978.
Her creative journey embodies recurrent themes—nature and the environment—explored in different mediums and techniques. It ranges from works on paper or canvas to site-specific installations related to contemporary issues. Doris’ visual discourse is manifested in Neo-abstract compositions rendered in a spectrum of rich colors and shapes that the artist reconfigures. Often, the lines, shapes, and textures also bear deeper meanings. For instance, her work’s leaf and pod-like designs allude to the constant destruction of tropical forests.
Her professional experience includes national and international exhibitions and Art Education through museums, art centers, libraries, and schools.
