ABOUT
ROGER EATON (born 31st August 1956) British visual artist, photographer, sculptor, film-maker and cinematographer. He was born in Cambridge and has lived and traveled all over the world. Having trained under the guidance of legendary photographers, Lord Snowdon and Eve Arnold, Roger moved to New York in the early eighties at the height of the creative revolution. He worked closely with Andy Warhol for Interview Magazine while being creatively involved with artists such as Julian Schnabel, Francesco Clemente, Rammellzee and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
ALCHEMIC PROCESS
As a young photographer, I became enchanted by the alchemic process. Several factors set me on this journey. I began by manually shaping light and learning to master the developing process in the darkroom from the age of 9. My fascination with the analogue process deepened. The transformations that would happen, when stirring the cauldron with the alchemic use of chemicals, magically appeared to secede the traditional scientific approaches of photo-chemistry.
A TALE OF NIGHT ANGLING
A tale of night angling, wherein we see the voyeur’s shadow cast by moonlight as we follow Roger’s telluric amphibian wandering. Cutting through the vermeil and silver glades, slipping through lingering vapors, we enter the magic of a secret place.
