Acrollage painting is simply the evolution of a mixed media combination of acrylic and paper, transcending into a more elegant form. This medium is achieved by layering glazes of luminous colors with encapsulating rice and imaged paper. The luxurious paint and textures is achieved by the blending of fermenting surfaces and stenciled patterns which enhances the dramatic intensity of the images. The depth of coloring is inspired by, and adapted to the tastes of the common people, produces a striking impression. The sensitive and complex simplicity creates a more formal graphic composition.
The imagery evokes a range of archetypal themes, and employs a new vocabulary of classical and urban origin. The empowerment of the spiritual and emotional evolves from the act of their own creation and defines a distinctive quality. The creative forces and artistic execution of the work rest with pure intuition and conjures a signature style, unique to RODRIGUEZ CALERO.
