Artist Christy Lee Rogers' Perseus and Andromeda from her Myths and Legends Collection

Internationally acclaimed visual artist Christy Lee Rogers returns to the UK with a new solo exhibition that reimagines classical mythology through her signature underwater lens.

Titled Myths and Legends, the exhibition will transform the iconic façade of W1 Curates on Oxford Street, as Rogers’ luminous underwater figures are projected across 300 state-of-the-art LED screens—turning one of London’s busiest streets into a vast theatre of light, colour, and movement.

Inside, visitors are invited into a world of myth and metamorphosis—a series of monumental underwater photographs that reframe the timeless stories of heroes, lovers, and seekers through a contemporary lens. Using the fluid medium of water and her mastery of light and colour, Rogers reimagines these ancient archetypes as deeply human figures—suspended between chaos and calm, love and loss, shadow and illumination.

By merging past and present, Rogers reveals the shared emotions and experiences that bind us across centuries: the search for meaning, the courage to love, and the unending desire to rise beyond limitation. These age-old tales—once told to explain the world—resurface here as reflections of our own lives beneath the surface of the modern age.

Rogers’ distinctive aesthetic, often compared to the grandeur of Baroque painting, has earned international recognition. Her work has been exhibited across the globe and featured in VogueCNNHarper’s Bazaar, and The Independent. In 2019, she received the Sony World Photography Award for Open Photographer of the Year. Most recently, Rogers was commissioned by James Cameron and Disney for Avatar: The Way of Water, creating ethereal underwater portraits of Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Kate Winslet. Her past collaborations also include projects for Apple and Lavazza.
