Paris - Orio

Paris - Orio' is an example of the numerous itinerary-paintings in which Rodrigo establishes a mnemonic, subjective map through a grammar of signs that represent the trajectory of that journey. The diagrammatic composition, made of pictograms and words rendered in a simplistic, childlike manner points to his interest in primitive, aboriginal art and is accentuated by a chromatic range (including ochre, white and black) that is reminiscent of his studies in agronomy.
