Omar Rodriguez-Graham - Promontory
Technique: Oil on linen mounted on wood
Artist Biography:To create these pieces, the artist takes as a starting point recognizable Renaissance or Baroque figurative paintings whose image he digitally deconstructs until obtaining an almost unrecognizable abstract composition. These digital sketches are then translated into real large format paintings. Following the calculated approach of Renaissance painters, Rodriguez-Graham methodically assigns different colors, textures and techniques to specific areas, slowly building each plane. The bands of color partially determine the edges of the painting, which unfolds to the periphery and the outside of the canvas as fragments or arrows. By not restricting the painting to a rectangle or circle, he allows the colors, textures and shapes within to determine its edges. The result is a dynamic composition that allows the pieces to function as wall sculptures as well. As he builds the painting, Rodriguez-Graham welcomes moments of improvisation, experimenting with different ways of applying oil paint to each part of the image. This is his way of compressing and addressing various moments in art history.
