Francisco Rodríguez Pino - untitled
Artist Biography: Francisco Rodriguez was born in 1989 in Santiago, Chile. For Francisco Rodriguez painting is not only a way of seeing or thinking, but, even more radical, a way of being seen by thinking and seeing out loud. His imagination clings to the mind like heavy wool or damp winter air. Consisting of firmly delineated figures that populate dark or gray-toned landscapes: men in shadows, packs of red-eyed dogs, and crows occupying the central space of a canvas, Rodriguez's canvases do not exchange conventional stories or pretend to portray realistic landscapes, beyond, that is, freely noting some recognizable elements. Instead, they evoke atmospheres that propose questions rather than answers, enigmas rather than direct meanings. As a whole, these works are unexpected narra6ves, like Japanese haiku, full of insinuations and ambiguous ellipses. But it is not only in their signifying projection that Rodriguez seems to establish his relationship with Japan; his flat, solid-color paintings, drawings and simple compositions also make reference to Japanese graphic animations and drawings.
For Francisco Rodriguez, painting is not only a way of seeing or thinking, but, even more radically, a way of being seen by thinking and seeing out loud. The effort requires, of course, the construction of an eloquent image or narrative archive. That compelling, or imaginary, archive constitutes the source of what we have come to call the artist's creative vision. In Rodriguez's case, his imagination clings to the mind like heavy wool or damp winter air. It consists of firmly delineated figures that populate dark or gray-toned landscapes: men in shadows, packs of red-eyed dogs, and crows occupying the central space of a canvas. Rodriguez's canvases do not exchange conventional stories nor do they pretend to portray realistic landscapes, beyond, that is, freely noting some recognizable elements. Instead, they evoke atmospheres that propose questions rather than answers, enigmas rather than direct meanings. Like a strange dream, a great song or a blurred memory, Rodriguez's images describe internal states of consciousness, which are remembered less as facts than as emotions.
