For Kingma, it is the stone itself that speaks. Her torsos, legs, and heads breathe softness and concentration. She is guided by the structure and colour of marble, by the resistance and poetry of the material. From the raw stone, she distils human fragments that remain recognisable yet never literal — moments of stillness in stone.
Rogie turns his gaze toward painting as an inexhaustible source of inspiration. In a continual process of reinvention, he explores what paint, gesture, and colour still have to offer him. His paintings arise from the urge to move beyond the explaining mind, to look with the eyes alone. By sidestepping reality, he seeks to transform it into something essential, pure, and unfiltered. In this duo exhibition, their worlds touch in the silence between form and meaning.
Both artists reveal that a moment — whether carved from stone or painted in colour — can hold an intense presence.
