Bernardí Roig - Cap d'homo I
Artist Biography: Bernardí Roig is a Spanish visual artist born in Palma de Mallorca in 1965. He is known for his multidisciplinary work that encompasses sculpture, photography, video, installation, and drawing. His works often have a conceptual approach and his work is characterized by the exploration of themes such as identity, death, memory, and perception. Bernardí Roig has exhibited in numerous galleries and museums in Spain and abroad, and has participated in international biennials of contemporary art. His work can be found in important museum collections and private collections around the world. Among his most outstanding works are the series "Blackout", "Selfportrait", "Light and Matter" and "The Shadow of the Monster". His sculptures and human figures wrapped in bandages or plastic covers have become a hallmark of his artistic style.
The diptych Cap d'homo, is formed by two self-portraits made in two different times; one is the precision drawing on paper of a headless body, the other; the imprecise drawing of a head without a body on a smoked methacrylate surface. Superimposed, they form a frontal image that contains the attributes of the stereotype of an expired masculinity; white shirt, black tie and suspenders. This accumulation of times shows a situation in which the body recedes into the background of the image and the head rushes into its presence, creating a dialectical tension between what is shown and what is hidden, since what is shown is what is hidden and the opposite, what is hidden is what is shown. Cap d'homo are lines that aspire to a countenance that does not arrive, although this amalgam of strokes are already aware of themselves.
