CINQ GALLERY PRESENTS THE FINE LINE OPENING RECEPTION
Cinq Gallery in the Dallas Design District presents Rodolfo
Choperena’s new solo show, The Fine Line.
Choperena’s work is best described as abstracted photography: representational
yet complicated by the obscuring and absenting of the subject. By inducing
movement and manually manipulating subjects and light sources, Choperena
provokes a figurative tableau into abstraction. Every shot, every video, is the
evidence of a performance. The acts of montage and manipulation are performed
in camera, and movement is his primary performative act. By maneuvering the
camera’s placement, aperture and exposure settings in relation to color fields,
landscapes, light sources, precipitation and seascapes, the artist’s work
pushes the boundaries of perception, creating organic, lyrical free forms. The
resultant images are the reinterpretation of the original subject. Striations
shift in varying intervals and rhythms, alternately compressing and expanding
positive and negative space. However obscured, each composition retains a firm
representational vantage point—host to personal objects and scenario
manipulations. Each image is a direct reflection of his ever-changing
environment.
