Rodrigo de Toledo’s exhibition takes us into the illuminated pages of a manuscript codex, where ancient and modern symbols are reinvented into a new context and iconography. Deities, creatures and myths from a lost civilization inhabit cosmo-mythological realms and archetypal diagrams, displayed on canvas, leather parchment, paper, and installation. The body of work, from 2005 to 2020, offers us a beautiful and delicate mythology of contemporary origin, in which the artist directly addresses the core of the human structure: our incompleteness – the illusion of separation from the cosmos.
La exposición de Rodrigo de Toledo nos lleva a las páginas iluminadas de un códice manuscrito, donde los símbolos antiguos y modernos se reinventan en un nuevo contexto e iconografía. Deidades, criaturas y mitos de una civilización perdida habitan reinos mitológicos del cosmos y diagramas arquetípicos, que se muestran en lienzo, pergamino de cuero, papel e instalaciones. Su colección de obras, de 2005 a 2020, nos ofrece una bella y delicada mitología de origen contemporáneo, en la que el artista aborda directamente el núcleo de la estructura humana: nuestro estado incompleto, la ilusión de separación del cosmos.
