04/05/2007
The Eurostars Laietana Palace**** (Barcelona) presents 31 works by Rodney Samuelson (U.S.A.) 1960, from 30 March to 30 April. Amongst them, the following pieces should be highlighted: Beaten copper, Of life and death, Modern fermentation, Beyond Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Between a Rock and a Hard Place and How Does Your Garden Grow.
Rodney Samuelson’s education took place in Los Angeles but he has been living and working in Barcelona since 1987, where he has managed to establish himself as an artist. His pictorial technique exudes liberty as he affirms his discomfort with hard and fast rules. For an artist, each picture is different and, as such, each must have its own laws: “each picture is a universe of its own, with its own particular laws, where the random use of the materials intertwines with the spontaneous order of the images applied”, he explains.
Amongst the collective exhibitions held by this artist are the 18th Mercedes Benz Art Supermarket (Bilbao, 2002); the Artitute-Tendences Figuratives (Paris, 2003); Kyoto Mugen-Ten (Kyoto, 2003); International Modern Art Academy of Rome (Rome, 2005) and the 50th International Show of Plastic Arts of Béziers (France, 2006). Amongst his individual exhibitions, those housed at the PER.FOR.ART Espai (Barcelona, 2004) or the Espace Tuset 13 (Barcelona, 2005), are noteworthy.
