The subjects of her canvases- often targets of prejudice and oppression within the urban and institutional spaces they navigate-emerge defiant, dignified, and richly soulful in the portraiture. Rodríguez Calero’s artwork is predominantly informed by her Puerto Rican heritage and the diverse communities that enrich New York City’s Lower East Side, the neighborhood where she has lived and forged her career for the past 30 years. The resulting pieces are bold, surrealist portraits that masterfully combine religious iconography, classical and Byzantine patterns, and elements of hip hop and street art to spellbinding effects. These innovative processes fuse painting, printmaking, photography, and collage in the intricate layering of paper, acrylic paint, and recycled materials, among other mediums. This two-decade survey exhibit showcases RoCa’s signature acrollage and fotacrolé technique.
