Rodrigo Vargas is a multidisciplinary artist and freelance curator based in London and Barcelona. He has a bachelor’s degree in Mixed Media Fine Art from Central Saint Martins and has exhibited in a variety of online and offline spaces, such as Ambika P3, Tate Modern (Exchanges Program), 508 Kings Road Gallery, and Tecla Sala. “My practice is a response to the artistic shock moving from Bogotá to London produced in me. During my early years, I was exposed to the beauty and timelessness of the visual arts, within offline spaces. I was a museum child, and I experimented throughout my teens with painting and sculptural mediums. I believed it to be the epitome of creativity. Once I moved to London, I realized the capabilities of the digital medium for creative expression. I started experimenting with various software to create compositions to be enjoyed as artwork exclusively in the digital sphere. Since then, I’ve been creating art under different pseudonyms and avatars, in the hopes of detaching my physical being from my digital presence, and to challenge the notion of the “celebrity artist”. I consider my art to fall under the canon of contemporary art, with specific categorizations of digital art, and net art. In conjunction to this, I’ve curated a series of hybrid shows exploring the interrelations of the digital medium and the commercial physical art world. In this I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with various NFT platforms as a curator and consultant. I hope my series offers a short view into the creative capacities of a visual artist with digital tools. Thank you for offering me a platform to showcase my work”.
