Rocío Rodríguez: Revealing
On view: November 7, 2025–January 1, 2026
Artist reception: Wednesday, November 19, 5:00-7:00 pm

Revealing showcases the latest work from the Santa Fe–based artist Rocío Rodríguez. She uses canvas and acrylic paint to create sculptures that adapt to the space. In her pieces, Rocío celebrates the architecture of the canvas by removing the stretcher. Both sides of the material are important. The nails add a restriction to the canvas, and brings both, a construction industry reference as well as a religious note to the work. The folds of the fabric reveal intimate spaces allowing the viewer to see the most expressive side of the canvas interacting with the contrast of the steel. By removing the restrains of the stretcher, in her work the canvas is free and reveals a side kept hidden until now.

Rocío Rodríguez was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and she is currently based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has a Master of Architecture degree from UNM and an Associate in Fine Arts degree with a focus on sculpture from the SFCC. She has five years of experience as a portrait photographer. Her multidisciplinary background is reflected in her work.
