TDRIPPING

The paintings made by “dripping on acrylic”, have their background with North American Jackson Pollock, contrary to him, Roque takes his work to figurative art with uncommon skill and mastery.  Where the control of gravitation over his paintings turns complicated, such as the “Revolucionario”, with presence almost cinematography represents Emiliano Zapata. In this painting the dripping technique is fundamental and obvious. There is no previous drawing, over a thick paste of color the artist starts dropping over the painting surface, structuring mentally what is going to be captured at the end.
