Product Description

Ofelia Rodríguez (b. 1946 Barranquilla, Colombia; lives and works in London, Barranquilla and Cartagena) produced 'La muerte sonriendo en paz sobre los caimanes’ in Bogotá at the renowned Taller Arte Dos Gráfico. Rodriguez is one of Colombia's foremost painters who works in a bold style that combines the colours and images of Colombia's Caribbean coast with Pop art and the popular traditions of Latin America broadly. In this silkscreen print the colours are more muted but the composition is characteristically strong and the images of alligators or caimans and skulls allude to symbols of life and death found throughout the Americas.
