Blanca Estela Rodríguez
Bright acrylic glass wall sculpture -- yellow "diamonds"

2019

About the Item

This work glows; light seems to emanate from it even though there is no electricity powering the sculpture. It is the combination of angles and colors in Rodríguez's acrylic glass that creates this mesmerizing effect. Her works offer limitless shifts in perception based on light, shape, time, and proximity. Blanca Estela Rodríguez is a Mexican artist, currently based in San Francisco. She has lived in various cities throughout the world including Mexico (Mexico City), Gothenburg (Sweden), Hamburg (Germany), and now the Bay Area. Rodríguez’s multinational (im)migration experience informs her interest in exploring themes of identity and the site specificity of perception in conjunction with light. Rodríguez utilizes a variety of mediums in her work ranging from photography, light sculpture, and installation through integrating various technologies. In her newest body of work, Rodríguez explores the shifting relationship between light, shape, perception, and its effect on representation and illusion by manipulating acrylic glass. Rodríguez received a B.Des from the Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana in Mexico City, a MSc in Art and Technology from Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden, and a Masters in Visual Arts from the Hochschule für Bildende Künste in Hamburg, Germany. Rodríguez was a Studio Artist at Root Division from July 2015 through November 2018 where she was awarded the Latino Teaching Artist Fellowship in 2015. She was granted the DAAD Artists Fellowship from 2007 to 2009 in Hamburg, Germany. Rodriguez’s work has been exhibited internationally and in the Bay Area at Southeast Community Center (San Francisco), Incline Gallery (San Francisco), Root Division (San Francisco), La Velada de Santa Lucía (Venezuela), Museo Diego Rivera Anahuacalli (Mexico City), Kunsthaus Hamburg (Germany), Westwerk (Germany), Centro Cultural de España (Mexico City), Pop up image (South Korea). Rodríguez’s work is part of the collection of The City of San Francisco, commissioned by the Sfac in 2021. Her work is also part of the collection of IDEO San Francisco.
