LEVIATHAN'S TWILIGHT

by Madame Mia

Mountain goat near Kew Bridge, Richmond upon Thames.

Through his characteristic use of metaphor, Banksy perches a goat precariously on a high elevation as rocks crumble at its feet. While it maintains its balance, the creature may represent the fragile state of U.K. society and criticism about scapegoating or blaming particular groups, especially in regard to race, during periods of unrest. Surveillance, a critical theme in Banksy’s work, appears here in the form of a CCTV camera that has been turned away from the street and trained on the goat.

Energetic Characters Collide in Roco’s Bold, Cartoonish Jumbles

October 22, 2024

Art

Grace Ebert

Rodrigo Oñate, a.k.a. Roco, marries the visual languages of graffiti, comics, and pop culture in his energetic paintings. Splitting his time between Chicago and Querétaro, Mexico, the artist works on walls and canvases, mish-mashing a flurry of characters along with simple patterns, squiggles, and the occasional surreal detail, like a gloved hand embedded with an eye.

Roco describes his process as entirely intuitive and almost like graffiti writing. “I throw some lines and from there. I start staging characters and elements adding textures and intricate forms,” he says. “I like movement and fluid forms, (and I’m) also always looking for a good balance of color and texture in the composition.”

Several cartoonish characters recur throughout the spirited works and often emerge from personal connections. Birds, for example, come from Roco’s mother telling him that the animals flocking to their family garden were ancestors visiting from another realm, while dogs mimic his three dogs.

Other creatures have broader symbolism, like the jaguars and large cats recalling the spiritual guides of Mexican mythology. And the primates? They’re included because they bring a sense of play and joy, the two feelings the artist hopes to convey with each work.

Prints and other goods are available in Roco’s shop, and you can find more on Instagram.

@thealmightyemprex @ariel-seagull-wings @themousefromfantasyland @piterelizabethdevries @princesssarisa @grctw there are different kinds of villains out there. You have your cool villains, your tragic villains, your sympathetic villains/antagonists. This list is comprised of villains who get under my skin in a very personal way. I see a pattern here - abusive parents and partners, manipulators whose control can come as much from words and reputation as outward acts of violence. Even the most overtly violent and obviously vile of them are enabled by their stations - the family patriarch, the cog in the imperialist machine, etc.
