La Sutileza de la estela de un buque II Painting

Nelson Rodríguez is an Artist belonging to the new generation of emerging artists, whose sources seem to have their deepest connection with rare waters of silent whirlwinds that swirl in varied artistic interests. On the one hand he assumes collage as a vital plastic resource, the parts are combined in a kind of nuances and suggestions; On the other hand, a sensitive figuration is shown in ambivalent geometric anatomies, the pieces of materials such as plastics, rubber, paper, resins, semi-leather, photography rolls, which he uses with skill, arranging them on the surface following mechanisms of artistic creativity and fascination. emotiva.The artist appropriates a formal rhythmic order whose structure is expressed in the different planes defined by the color of the material that acts irreducibly. Although brief, his chemistry studies provided him with some influence, especially in the combination of elements, an important part of the formal exploration to which he subjected his interest in the behavior of the visual and material texture of each of the pieces of the collage. In his case, the work has a morphological structure that could be defined as marine cartography: The combined abstraction and figuration that results in visible suggestions of landscape. The arrangement of elements, such as maps, encourages the union of contrary but compatible and coherent images with the total meaning of the theme. The viewer's gaze encounters a stylistic singularity rich in formal and conceptual sense. This young artist renews the concept of collage whose richness lies in the arrangement of organic and geometric shapes on the surface, which is ultimately deeply pictorial. Making art is always a kind of deep tear that the artist, with force, visible or invisible, draws in a secret plot. It is this secret plot that Nelson Rodríguez offers in each of the works of the suboceanic series group. The theme refers to life in the sea and its mysteries, a definition of marine landscape where octopuses, anemones, plants, fish, are painted on the support, while references to the landscape itself, the sea, the mountains, are contained in the material cut out and arranged in a rigorous spatial order to form a complete image. Its color and line are not conventional.
