Cojido con Presillas

Collagraphy , 2024

Dimensions:

In this contemplative collagraph print titled "Cojido con Presillas" (Caught with Clips), CHOCO presents a minimalist profile of a head rendered in luminous yellow against a deep charcoal background. The profile is intersected by a horizontal chalk-like line that runs through its center, where a striking white oval form, suggesting a mouth or perhaps an opening, creates a focal point. The textural quality achieved through the collagraph technique gives the yellow surface a weathered, almost ancient appearance, with vertical striations that evoke the imagery of stitches or fasteners referenced in the work's title.

The composition's stark simplicity belies its technical complexity, demonstrated through the subtle variations in texture and tone that the collagraph process allows. The head appears to be both divided and held together by the horizontal line, while the vertical patterns within the yellow form suggest a kind of structural reinforcement or perhaps metaphorical restraint. This interplay between division and connection, emphasized by the precise placement of the white oval form, creates a powerful meditation on human consciousness and communication, themes that frequently appear in CHOCO's work.
