Chapapote: A Mexican Elixir
by Roland Salazar Rose
I think I have exposed what attributes chapapote has as a painting medium on paper and hardboard and displayed some suitable examples in this book. I am now considering ‘moving on.’ It has been fun and a challenge to engage with a material that seemed to have no artistic value whatsoever. In fact, most artists cringe when I say I am using tar in my paintings. That is not to say that there has never been anyone who hasn’t employed tar as a medium.

The Chaos Trilogy
by Roland Salazar Rose
Review by Cheri Long.
Once in a long decade or two, an artist emerges with something to say which we need to hear at this very moment. He speaks to our grappling for understanding of the world; he nudges our emotions and awakens the ability to question, to seek the great “aha” in the midst of whirling confusion. Roland Salazar Rose is such an artist: he has become a soul painter.

Aztec Deities Series
by Roland Salazar Rose
From the author…
Why did I do the Aztec Deities Series when obviously I could never present a true appreciation of the majesty of this time in history? I didn’t research the mythology on the God Tonatiuh, which translates as “He Who Makes the Day” and use this as a basis for the painting. I let my imagination take hold and this guided me to represent the gods.
Clearly this work represents a “gringo” contemporary artist’s understanding and view of a period in history when gods & goddesses abounded and when a vast military and civil society was destroyed for ‘conquest: for gold’ and in the name of church and state.
As for me, I did not seek out the gods and goddess; they came to me!
