The exhibition Lonely Never Knows Jealousy, Only Despair by Mexican artist Rodrigo Ramírez Rodríguez grapples with the simultaneous attraction and repulsion to darkness. A darkness conceived as a liminal space where painting and cinema meet, where images and surfaces disappear, where the limits between what is seen and unseen, felt and undergone, dissolve. In this new solo show — functioning as a shadow sequel to his previous exhibition in Mexico City, By Abrasion or Contagion, which dealt with the endless blending of images — Rodrigo Ramirez continues to explore his favorite encounter between painting and sculpture as mediums, and expanded cinema and genre films as main frames of reference and thinking, now through a violent dislocation of space, time, body and self.
