Event Description
Opening Reception: Wednesday, July 18 from 6 to 8:30 p.m.
This exhibit features new works by Rocio Rodriguez that focus on an activity that has been her lifelong engagement — painting. This series of drawings discard color in favor of a very limited and muted palette. She brought order and stability to her canvases purposefully calming down the frenetic activity of her previous works and presenting the dichotomies that exist within the pictorial language. Her images depict paint, mark, shape and line all exposed and placed at the front of the picture plane while stacked on totems or pedestals. As the works progress, a fuller color palette returns to her works. Of these paintings Rodriguez says, “What is painting to me? I think these are like memorials to painting, making paintings about painting. But also being outside of it, commenting on it, while I create them and take them apart.”
