Description
Rodríguez-Chaves’ Hallucination or the Labyrinth of the Simulated — a surreal abstract collage oil painting — examines how images mediate our understanding of truth, memory and power. The Costa Rican artist, known for his layered visual language, manipulates found photographs, printed materials, and digital fragments to construct new narratives that question what we perceive as real.
This surreal abstract collage oil painting combines figuration and abstraction in shifting, disorienting ways, suggesting the instability of historical knowledge and the fragility of collective memory. Through distortion and reconstruction, Rodríguez-Chaves turns each composition into a site of enquiry — a place where meaning is negotiated rather than fixed.
In Hallucination or the Labyrinth of the Simulated, he explores the politics of representation and the mechanisms through which images shape contemporary consciousness. The result is a painting that is at once analytical and elusive, prompting viewers to consider how visual culture defines the limits of perception.
