Although he is best known for his amazing photo-realistic and highly erotic paintings of women, he spent many years working as a |
| + | freelance cartoonist in New York publishing his work in major US magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Playboy and more. He moved to San Francisco in the 80s and worked in the advertising field for many years, creating many illustrations for the San Francisco Chronicle. | ||
| + | Around the same time Roger decided to direct his attention toward fine arts and replace the ink and paper with acrylics and canvas. Since then he has been offering a view to the female body in a sexy, erotic, and | ||
| + | unforgettable way. A meticulous, passionate and spiritual artist, Roger is said to found photorealism as a way of meditation by immersing himself in the work. His paintings are a heightened stimulation of the mind and body, a unique, spiritual, and mind-blowing experience. "There is more eroticism in the glimpse of an exposed knee or a revealed thigh than in a pair of opened legs." | ||
| + | Roger Licot, a contemporary self-taught artist, has dedicated most of | ||
| + | his life to illustrate his point. To view samples of his art work, please | ||
| + | visit: www.mesart.com/rogerlicot and www.rogerlicot.com | ||
| - | Roger worked mainly with pen and ink, and later with digital images on computer. He wanted a radical change and decided to direct himself towards fine art, his style of painting is totally opposed to the comic strip style of his commercial work: the cold clinical nature of Hyperrealism is an opportunity to 'just immerse yourself in the work, it's like meditation. Roger works and lives in San Francisco. | ||
