Rich Rogo’s art is like a recipe of groovy nostalgia
1 part The Jetsons - 1 part Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room - mixed with a splash of Sandra Dee as Gidget!
Rich Rogo’s lively new series of original water color paintings capture the vibe of California’s Mid-Century Surf-Car-Music Culture. Rich Rogo studied Fine Art at Chico State as well as Graphic Design at San Diego State Universty. While much of his commercial career was centered around stoic work for the US Navy and UC San Diego’s Medical School, in retirement he has shifted into a much more vibrant and lighthearted style. Rich’s mid-century modern style is heavily influenced by the pop-art of Wayne Thiiebau and the comical work of the Mad Magazine artists.
