RODRIGO ECHEVERRÍA

Rodrigo Echeverría (b. 1988) lives and works in Mexico City. His practice attends to those things that linger at the margins of representation without ever fully disappearing, and approaches painting as a form of visual archaeology: both an excavation of the symbolic ruins of paradise and an inquiry into the aesthetic mechanisms, representational logics, and power structures through which such images are produced. Through a distinctly neo-Baroque sensibility, Echeverría brings heterogeneous visual languages into a single pictorial structure, allowing his work to resist singular or linear interpretation. Through layered compositions and a composite visual vocabulary, his paintings unfold as dense yet unstable pictorial fields in which excess and disappearance, ornament and desolation, visibility and ambiguity remain in sustained tension.
