Filipe Rodrigues draws and paints compulsively. Almost as if his breathing depends on that motricity. Nonetheless, there is in his painting a programmatic and language coherence, whose common denominators extend to the palette coming from the universe of pop; to the prevalence of the figurative combination of body and landscape, in a dimension that oscillates between urbanity, the situation details, the universe of cinema and the desires of consumption by postmodern society; to the great importance of drawing, which takes the voids, creating layers of interpretation and relation to another dimension of pop culture that is the traditional or rural; and, finally, in the great care that, in the density of the represented, there is a narrative suggestion that seems to be an expression of the inner underworld of the artist. With his pictorial language, Filipe Rodrigues aims to tell us a story.
