PATRIC ROGERS
Winner of Liverpool Sculpture Prize 2026
Multidisciplinary artist working with folklore, public sculpture and contemporary myth.
Patric Rogers is a multidisciplinary artist based in Wirral, Merseyside, working across sculpture, film, painting, writing and installation. His practice explores folklore, place, psychogeography and the construction of contemporary myth.
“I am interested in artworks as myth machines: cultural devices that create the conditions for new stories, allowing communities to rethink who they are and how they relate to the places they call home.”
In 2026 he was awarded the Liverpool Sculpture Prize for SKALLI, a large-scale public sculpture installed at Liverpool Parish Church overlooking the Mersey. Reimagining the figure of the mer-being through the histories, textures and myths of Liverpool’s waterfront, SKALLI proposes a new folkloric icon for the city: something ancient, newly uncovered, and shaped by the place it now inhabits.

FEATURED PROJECT
SKALLI
Winner of Liverpool Sculpture Prize 2026
SKALLI is a new large-scale public sculpture commissioned as the winner of the Liverpool Sculpture Prize 2026. Installed at Liverpool Parish Church overlooking the Mersey, the work reimagines the city's maritime folklore through the figure of a contemporary mer-being. Neither mermaid nor monument in the traditional sense, SKALLI explores how myths emerge from place, community and collective imagination, proposing a new folkloric icon for Liverpool and its waterfront.
Installed opposite the Liver Building and overlooking the River Mersey, SKALLI will remain on public display for twelve months.

BRIDEWELL STUDIOS AND GALLERY RESIDENCY
At the end of November 2026, I will present a new solo exhibition as part of Material Matters' residency programme at Bridewell Gallery. The exhibition will bring together a series of new, yet-to-be-titled works exploring ongoing interests in folklore, myth-making, landscape, and the spaces where history and imagination intersect. Occupying the final chapter of the residency, the exhibition will mark the culmination of a year of research, experimentation, and new directions in my practice.
TRANSMISSIONS will open in Early October 2026
