Daniel Rios Rodriguez

Daniel Rios Rodriguez (b. 1978, Killeen, Texas, USA) received his BFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2005 and an MFA from Yale University in 2007. His paintings are a unique combination of found material and impasto paint executed on an intimate scale. The irregular shapes of the works are the result of Rodriguez making the supports himself from materials such as terracotta and cement, and building up the shape with found wood, rope, nails, and other objects he finds in his environment. Through his practice, Rodriguez intentionally touches on disparate motifs from the history of painting— landscape, still life, memento mori, and collage, for example—to reconfigure and raise questions around how those elements have been historically narrativized in the West.

Rodriguez was a recipient of the 2013 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, and has exhibited at galleries and museums internationally. Select gallery exhibitions include Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York; Cooper Cole, Toronto; Kerlin Gallery, Dublin; i8 Gallery, Reykjavik; Galeria Fortes D’Aloia & Gabriel, São Paulo, Brazil; Lulu, Mexico City; Hannah Hoffman Gallery, Los Angeles; James Harris Gallery, Seattle; Western Exhibitions, Chicago; and Martos Gallery, New York. Select museum exhibitions include the San Antonio Museum of Art, San Antonio; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Houston; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio; and White Columns, New York. Rodriguez lives and works in San Antonio, Texas, USA.
