Jose Rodriguez
Jose was born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1989. He became interested in art at the age of 12, after a plastic art school project where he created a booklet that recollected all types of art; he found himself inclined to kinetics, sculptures, illustration, and cubism. He began to draw illustrations for friends and family and started experimenting with street art in collaboration with friends and classmates.
-
He studied Industrial Design in the Design Institute of Caracas; one of his most significant works was a three-dimensional structure based in composition, rhythm, and colour. During these years, Jose created an extensive number of handmade pieces with recycled materials. He developed experience with carving acrylics, plastic, glass, and wood among others, exploring texture, colours, shapes, and light. His earliest influences were from Spanish painter Salvador Dali, Venezuelan kinetic artists Jesus Soto and Carlos-Cruz Diez, and the British painter Bridget Riley. Working as a freelance carpenter opened his horizons, he expanded his skills on material handling, assembly, and machinery knowledge.
-
After moving to London, he started working in Graffik Gallery, where he also learnt soft skills; how to engage with people, understanding artists' needs and how to transfer his ideas and knowledge successfully.
-
He is currently studying Art in London Metropolitan University, and has come to understand British identity through art.
