SANTIAGO RODRÍGUEZ SALAZAR (B. 1940) Paisaje Antillano signed, dated and inscribed 'Paisaje Antillano STGO. Rodriguez (Chago) 1987' (reverse) acrylic on paper 91 3/8 x 78 3/4 in (232 x 200 cm) Executed in 1987 Footnotes: Provenance Estate of Antonia Eiriz, Havana. Acquired from the above by the present owner. Paisaje Antillano (1987) reflects an early experimental moment in Santiago Rodríguez's visual practice, in which gesture, materiality, and scale converge to produce an expressive and open pictorial field. Applied thickly on kraft paper, the acrylic surface emphasizes physicality and immediacy, privileging process and intensity over representation. The expansive format and dense application of paint suggest a gestural abstraction aligned with mid-century explorations of matter, rhythm, and emotional charge. Rather than resolving into fixed forms, the composition operates as a field of action, foregrounding movement, texture, and the expressive potential of the painted surface. Rodríguez, also known for his work as a poet and essayist, developed a multidisciplinary practice in which visual art, literature, and critical thought intersect through experimentation and expressive freedom.
