Rodolfo Arotxarena (Montevideo, 1958) well-known as "Arotxa, the one of the caricatures", is practically unknown in his facet as a "painter", as a "visual artist". In 2001 he exhibited at the Church of San Pedro del Durazno a series of oil paintings of paintings entitled "Caudillos" (Warlords); an exhibition that was repeated the following year in Montevideo, in the Edificio Constitución. The exhibition "Caudillos y silencios" held at the MNAV presents recent works of the Arotxa of always: an artist who shoots from the Creole national imaginary -especially in the paisanos and mythical gauchos- and done with an oil painting technique that has identified him for more than four decades. To a good part of these paintings, Arotxa adds new characters and produces a series of landscapes that add to the set of this invaluable exhibition. With critic texts by Pablo da Silveira (Ministro de Educación y Cultura), Enrique Aguerre (Director del Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales), Jorge Cancela, Jorge Abbondanza, Óscar Padrón Favre, Raúl Zaffaroni, Daniel Vidart, Silvia Guerra y Oscar Larroca
Note:
