Vicente Rojo

Printed/Painted delves into the tension between the social and utilitarian service of editorial design and the defense
of the autonomy, opacity and difficulty of painting, a tension that has marked Vicente Rojo’s (Barcelona, 1932) oeuvre since the 1960s. This exhibition digs into the past while at the same time offers a vision of the present. It brings together a selection of pieces of graphic and editorial design, artist’s books, sculpture and painting series, sketches and engravings. Played out between them is a multitude of negotiations between the printed word, the sign as a gesture, and painting as a process.
