Vivarium Gallery Sea Creatures
On the warm summer evening of Friday, August 1st 2008, a small group gathered outside a newly founded window front gallery on Yew Street and gazed inside. Filling the space were two enormous paintings of imagined sea creatures, the first and second panels from Christopher's ongoing sea creature series. Almost three years later, the Vivarium Gallery presents the next two 80" X 96" panels, on display April 30th through May 14th 2011.
The third and fourth panels began as a ballpoint pen sketch, produced
during
the summer of 2008 & 2009 on Wreck Beach. The beauty of this west coast seascape,
the meditative sound of the rolling waves, the salty smell and taste of the ocean,
the deceptively tropical July & August and the unique culture that inhabits
this beach, provides a wealth of inspiration. Over the cooler, rainy months these
drawings are scanned into the computer, composed within Photoshop, translated
onto canvas using pencil, then converted into colour with acrylic paint.

Vivarium Gallery Still Life 01 & 04
2130 Yew Street, Vancouver, BC
Please join us at the VIVARIUM GALLERY for a reception party for
Christopher Rodrigues, Saturday, October 10th from 6-9. On display
until November 9th are the artist proofs of Still Life 01 & Still
Life 04 as well as a Personal Altar. The digital Cibachrome prints,
sourcing still life flower paintings from the Dutch Golden Age,
were first publicly exhibited in March 2009 at the SCOPE Art Fair
in New York. Christopher's Personal Altar aims to gain a deeper
understanding of the old tradition of Still Life in Contemporary
Art, through the practice of altar making. Altar making is
a common tradition that bridges all religions. Beyond organized
religion, personal Altars can be found in many house-holds around
the world. This summer the Vancouver audience was given the opportunity
to learn about and examine the Dutch Golden Age of painting, in
a beautiful curated exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery. This
exhibition extended many peoples understanding of the visual language
of Still Life, a language that is necessary to interpret Christopher's
work.
DIRECTIONS TO VIVARIUM GALLERY: 2130 Yew Street, one block west of Arbutus,

INDEFINITELY PENDING
RARE Gallery Still Land - Ryan Brennan & Christopher Rodrigues
521 W. 26th Street, New York, NY
Christopher uses the computer and Photoshop as his artistic mediums in three ongoing series of works -- Planets, Islands, Still Lifes -- that examine the relationship between Nature and Technology as well as photography and painting. Employing techniques that resemble collage and painting, he absents the camera from the process of creating his photographs. The results, printed as Cibachromes and face-mounted to Plexiglas, are both hyper-real and fantastical, connecting to traditional notions of the still life and landscape while looking forward to a digitally enhanced universe. Each of the three series is produced in an edition of seven. Chris will participate in his second exhibition at RARE this fall. RARE Gallery is located on 521 W. 26th Street, New York (212) 268-1520

Vivarium Gallery Paths of the Sea
2130 Yew Street, Vancouver, BC
Please join us for the opening of the VIVARIUM GALLERY; a new
gallery in the affluent neighborhood of Kitsilano, Vancouver, founded
by Jamie Griffiths and Christopher Rodrigues .A diptych, by Christopher
Rodrigues, will be the first work to show at the VIVARIUM GALLERY.
The two 80" X 96" paintings were worked up from ball-point
pen sketches produced on Wreck Beach during the summer of 2007;
translated to paint over the autumn, winter and spring. The work
considers the element of water in relation to the human body and
mind; metaphorically equating the creation process and deep-sea-fishing.
The diptych exhibited at the Vivarium Gallery through August, depict
four chimera from the sea; each couple witnessing the conception
of their child. The narrative pauses for a moment, while these
creatures embrace, as their paths cross under the sea.

The video begins as a series of flowers and creatures that become composed into gardens and floating islands. The islands become compressed together and flooded to become a small, walkable planet. The images then move through a planet phase, making a break from the previous images. The final two images move from a sun to a star and then whites out.

Perform: Fishing for Jade Blue Embers
These two powerful artists set up a camera on a rock
in Upper New York State and filmed themselves performing. There
is a feeling of cermony as the piece builds. This is the first
in a series of performance collaborations between Ayelen & Rubin.
Christopher digitally super-imposed an image of a hand-laser playing
with feedback from a TV screen looped with a camera filming itself.
He used many layers of varying transparency, approaching video
like he painted in glazes. This digital video led his artistic
practice towards the long-term exploration of how technology and
nature relate. Developing new, creative ways to use simple, existing,
technology. This video contrasts the mechanical image he created,
with the video of a natural, artistic human ritual.

MAY 6th 2004
Bird Stolen by FEDEX over the atlantic ocean
Bird, 1997
Acrylic on Canvas
5' X 3'
I painted this piece in 1997. The final image seems
to morph from a dove to a parrot, a porpoise to a whale. It was
painted upside down as a vortex or black hole sucking in light.
Once this painting was completed I turned it upside down to reveal
the finished image.
I last saw this painting on the night of May 5th 2004 while I unstretched and
rolled it up. The next morning I took the painting, packed in a black tube
with dented silver caps and used Fed Ex to mail it to a collector in London
England.
The following 3-5 business days I enthusiastically followed it's journey across
the Atlantic, with the use of my tracking number. After a failed first attempt,
no further efforts were taken to deliver my work. After two weeks I contacted
the recipient to see if she could get the painting moving again on her end.
The tracking number is 844554190304.
I called the Fed Ex office and the agent told me the package arrived in England
opened with the painting removed. Their tracing process provided no leads to
the thief and they concluded if they find the painting they will contact me.
They never contacted me again.
If anyone has any information about the location of this painting I would love
to know where it has ended up. I wrote an extended letter this website URL
on the back of the painting, so there is a great chance that the thief is watching
me.

ABOUT THE IMAGE
Flower 01 was created in 2003 using Photoshop and the
computer as my sole medium, and developing techniques that resembled
collage and painting. An extensive project, examining the practice
of landscape and still life in contemproary art today, was modeled
on this first image. On April 1st 2004, a limited edition of
21, 11" X 14" digital cibachrome prints of Flower
01, were released.
