My work is inspired by the phenomenology of color by producing scenarios to explore the limits of its psychological and spiritual implications. In Ausentes I use some of the pictorial movement Abstract Expressionism’s main characteristics, such as color fields, and large formats in which to submerge the bodies. The painting of color fields plays with a contemplative emotion, in which the viewer immerses himself in the large colored surfaces, living a synesthetic experience that connects emotion with what the eye perceives.

Rodrigo Chapa (Monterrey, Nuevo León, México. 1987) currently lives and works in Mexico City.

His work is inspired by the phenomenology of color, producing scenarios to explore the limits of its psychological and spiritual implications. In his artistic practice, he mainly explores the medium of photography, relying on the pictorial tradition as an environmental resource to build an image. He has taught photography at CEDIM, Gimnasio de Arte and LCI.
