On October 14, 2020, POP UP MUSEUM of contemporary Russian art at the site of the design business center "NEO GEO" opens a personal exhibition of the famous American artist Emilio Hector Rodriguez "AND THE WORD BECAME FLOOD".
The exhibition project of Emilio Hector Rodriguez became the quintessence of deep spirituality and a modern approach to painting. In this difficult time, when a person is suspended in uncertainty and it seems that the light at the end of the tunnel is indistinguishable, the soul, more than ever, yearns for hope, support and spiritual food.
In his series of abstract works, Rodriguez provides a creative response to quotations from the New Testament, conveying their sacred meaning in the language of art - through geometric shapes and abstract compositions. Originally "sounded" at the John C. Favalora Archives Museum at St. Thomas University in Miami. USA, "The Word" in the embodiment of Emilio Ector will sound at the Moscow POP UP MUSEUM.
American-Cuban artist Emilio Hector Rodriguez was born in Cuba in 1950. From the age of 12 he was engaged in painting - he experimented with oil paints and tempera. The artist left Cuba forever in 1981 and spent a year in Paris. Then he moved to Miami, where he still lives with his family.
In 2005, Emilio returned to the serious pursuit of art, mastered the technique of acrylic, and by 2007 fully devoted himself to abstract painting. In 2010, he founded and headed the 7 + 1 group of abstract painters (7 Plus One), in honor of the centenary of the appearance of the first abstract works by Wassily Kandinsky. The group exists to this day, presenting its art in museums in different countries.
In 2014, Emilio Hector was invited to become a member of the Cuban American Photo Library Foundation in recognition of his outstanding work in photography.
“My journey to the Bible and its teachings, which served as an inspiration for my work, began in early 2010, as I was preparing for my exhibition, There is a Time for Everything. Then I tried to relate my work to Ecclesiastes's book. Later, in 2014, I prepared an exhibition, Ecclesiasticus, inspired by the Book of Sirach (The early Christian church in the East and West honored this book and read it in the same way as the Jews before the Incarnation).
In my new series, And the Word Was Made Flesh, I turned to the New Testament and the message of Christ. I hope it will become a new source of inspiration for every viewer. After viewing the works of art, I encourage you to read the Gospel. And you will immediately feel the flow of blessing. "
