¨When you navigate through the archives of Rodolfo’s work, you find yourself in a very ambiguous and unfamiliar territory. The diversity of media, scales and approaches; creates a vast repertoire of images and messages, not only a joy to the critical eye, but also a work in constant progress.

(...)

The work becomes almost scientific the moment you read a structure behind it, but then, inmediately, the artist, betrays the support and covers the space with color. Color that grows as a cloak on top of the pieces, respecting no limits or frames, then the exhibition becomes a performance and the result is an installation, is it really?

Where is this color coming from?

Tropicality has become a constant motivation on his practice.

Monochrome interventions in spaces, something he tested in previous projects, becomes a very subtle veil that covers the “in between” spaces. The work, is it a series of pieces? or is it one single piece under the colored veil?

This constant ambiguity and complexity in the work of Rodolfo Agrella, makes this body of work, an exercise of curiosity.
