Work of Cuban-American Artist Rocio Rodriguez Now on Display in Georgia Museum
Cuban-American artist Rocio Rodriguez’s work is currently on display at the Columbus Museum in Georgia.
Divergent Fictions: A Selection of Works from 1988-2012 will be on display from August 19 – November 4, 2012.
Rodriguez’s works reflect on universal themes referencing the opposing forces of nature, beauty, war, conflict, and pain. She transforms these forces suggesting a world where nothing is fixed and everything is in the process of becoming. This new “reality” is at once organic and mechanical, graphic, and painterly, creating a whole that is based on all fictions and possibilities. The monumental images surround the viewer; sometimes caressing, sometimes hammering the message home.
[Rodriguez] came to the United States from Cuba, in 1961, when she was nine years old. As exiles, her family maintained strong emotional attachment to their language and memories. In America, Rodriguez learned to navigate between two cultures and through this experience began to view the world with a unique perspective. This duality serves as the philosophical framework from which much of her work has grown.
