Visualwords (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781795059558)

Rosique's visual art is given to us as if it were both a closed and open system. Sometimes closed to immediate access, and usually open to the revelation of its problems. The dilemmas presented by his work respond to the implications of this dichotomy. On the one hand, the writing of a crystal-clear message without any interference; on the other hand, the digits or letters of syntagma presumably revealing but indecipherable. The same happens with images: on the one hand, the act of approaching an unsuspected silhouette or a subliminal contour; on the other hand, the recognizable gravitation of the thematic object.Are Roberto Rosique's posters poems, pictorial compositions that feature writing? His answers: they are visual words, words that can be seen. Lucubrations to be shared. The definition is a little categorical, and more inclusive. It thrives in any variant of literary genius or better yet, on the margins of its fringes. Rosique's phrases adapt, in any case, to the demands of graphic mastery that merit their visual aspiration; they are terms that are seen because they produce to begin with, a visual effect or because the artist manipulates them to turn them into components of an equally visual product. Rosique's words are there to be read as a drawing, a vignette, an effigy, but with the additional spell of the work that emerges impregnated of the intrinsic properties of poetry summarized in the effusion of an individuality. His lettered/visual works are marked by the unilateral optic, the author's and his allegations, that he has marked the declarative angle of modern art. Nevertheless, his imagery offers us plenty of grips.Jorge Ortega(Writer/Poet)
