This is a Chemigram.Look it up! I've been doing them for a long time.Until now I never knew the name of this medium. While I was doing this for almost 10 years without any outside influence my style became more developed and streamlined that other artists who rely on the element of chance most of the time. This is a result of my own combination and manipulation of different chemicals, mostly darkroom photo developer, fixer and other unconventional household liquids. Everything is done camera-less over exposed photographic Kodak B&W paper and in plain daylight. The result is a combined painting technique using an alternative photographic process. Do Not get confused with the rest of my work that is done on digital photo paper using color inks. The process is completely different as well as the final outcome.

United States
Born in Havana, Cuba in 1961, José Tonito Rodriguez came to the United States in 1978 and currently lives in Florida. His early career as a photographer significantly shaped his current work. Using photographic paper, color inks, and an array of unconventional techniques, his images have a uniquely organic, exploratory feel. What he calls “accidents” splatter and sprawl across the paper, revealing themselves to him as he follows and urges them forward into other-worldly forms. Influenced by the forces of nature, he imagines the creation of rivers and lakes as he works, sometimes visualizing how clouds or even micro-organisms might behave under a microscope. The artist’s experiments tease the viewer into discovering “hidden, magical worlds” within our own imaginations.
