Description
Hyperrealist artist Eliecer Rodríguez paints with striking detail to address environmental degradation. His art juxtaposes everyday objects, like plastic bags, with natural elements such as marine life, emphasising the consequences of consumerism. Rodríguez’s paintings transform mundane items into symbols of ecological crises, challenging viewers to reflect on the impact of modern life on the environment.
His collaboration with renowned Cuban artist Tomás Sánchez has significantly influenced his technical and conceptual approach. Rodríguez’s connection to Costa Rica’s marine environment infuses his work, making it a poignant call to reconsider our relationship with nature and the often-overlooked effects of consumer culture.
In this gold bullet painting titled Inerte, Rodríguez depicts a mannequin-like severed hand resting on a table scattered with gold bullets, some of which spill onto the surface. The stark black background and uniform block colours lend the gold bullet painting a surreal quality, while the unsettling combination of the hand and gold bullets creates a menacing undertone, suggesting themes of violence and emptiness.
Framing not included.
