"For an abstract painter, and a relatively economical one at that, Warren Rohrer’s art reflects his deep engagement with and close observation of the rural Pennsylvania landscape that his family first settled in the early 1700s. The twelve paintings in Return to Land at Locks Gallery, dating from the 1970s to the early 1990s, show the subtle changes in Rohrer’s work as he gradually shifted his focus from light to land. Rohrer was, first and foremost, a colorist, and it was in pursuit of color’s expressivity that he developed the structure of his mature paintings in the early seventies." –Alex Grimley
