RODRIGO SPINEL
REPRESENTED ARTIST
The artist finds in drawing a way to explore the relevance of detail in the construction of images, objects, and spaces. The repetition of tiny elements such as the line in a drawing, leads to the construction of complex universes where that detail acquires value and becomes the basic unit, like the brick in a wall. The gesture of the repetition of small elements and the time invested in doing it is used as a tool to give "value" to the images that are constructed.
ARTWORKS
As a reflection on the value we give to objects, this series exposes examples of objects that we use daily and for different reasons end up gaining very high prices. By redrawing them the idea is to generate a conversation about what we consider valuable to ourselves, and how that´s a very relative concept.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 2.0 Series
Terms And Conditions 2.0. is based on the contrast of two images: the air waybill and the postage stamp. Although both images were realized at different times, they serve the same purpose: “to legitimize the value of an object”. Spinel enlightens the shifts of how an image is transformed through time, reflecting on how certain languages disappear due to globalization and exposing others that emerge through unified visual parameters. Formerly, stamps told stories from a country, its history or a historical event. Nowadays the air waybill is a contract with terms and conditions.
