Opening – April 27, 6- 9 PM

Waltman Ortega Fine Art is pleased to present “Passengers” a recent series of paintings by the celebrated Cuban-american artist. Featuring paintings ranging in size from intimate to monumental, these works provide a hypnotic meditation on the human condition and the passage of time.

“Airports, train stations, bus stops, parking lots … all are a source of fascination and anxiety for me,” notes Rodriguez.  “With their constant, yet anonymous flow of traffic, these places embody some of the most impermanent and poignant paradoxes in life. I have composed each picture as both an interior and exterior landscape, in which space becomes a metaphor for loneliness.”
