Throughout his fruitful life, Vicente Rojo has held numerous solo exhibitions and has participated on numerous collective exhibitions within Mexico, as in other countries. His paintings have been developed in large series that conceive equally questions as challenges. The main ones are: Señales [Signs], in which he works with basic geometric figures as the triangle; as in Negaciones [Denials] born of his intention to make that each frame could refuse the previous and the one that followed; Recuerdos [Memories] that emerged from his attempt to overcome a difficult childhood; México bajo la lluvia [Mexico under the rain], conceived about a rainy day that he witnessed in Tonantzintla; Escenarios [Scenarios], which is a review of past subjects and a sum of them composed in a miniseries; Escrituras [Scriptures], where his paintwork is allied to his indefatigable love of books and literature. Both of his works Correspondencias [Connections] and Salón de la fama [Hall of Fame] belong to this last series, where he honors many of his favorite artists like Jaque mate [Checkmate], which condenses his most recent work. Among the elementary forms that distinguish his work, we should note the letter «T»; the one about the diagonals of the series México bajo la lluvia; the triangle and the cone, that can be referred the same to volcanoes or pyramids; the circle and its thousand associations; the line of the horizon and its relation to the way we write; the square being present in a huge part of his work, the screen that serves as frame for many of his paintworks; the endless maze. Vicente Rojo belongs to the group of artists called the «Breakaway Generation», although he mentioned that they would be rather called «The Aperture». As a restorer of the visual arts in Mexico –painter, draftsman, engraver, sculptor and designer– he has worked steadily in favor of culture. In his rigorous imaginative work he shows with great freshness variants of the same subject achieving miraculously in a way (or various ways) a captivating, familiar and unknown feeling in all of his work.
