Artist Bio:
Artemio Rodriguez was born in Michoacan Mexico in 1972. He came to the United States in 1994 and lived for a time in Los Angeles. While the artist has worked in a variety of media, printmaking remains his predominant method of expression. And in 2002; he founded La Mano Press, an artist-run center dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of printmaking, which subsequently closed upon Artemio's return to Mexico in 2008. He is also the creator of many illustrated books and print portfolios. Besides his amazingly evocative graphics that are created from the linoleum cuts, Artemio has revolutionized his printmaking by transporting it to a non-print medium like automobiles. His visionary approach to the “boring” mobile libraries by converting them to exciting holders of the murals is more than a simple fashion statement. It is the assertion of Mexican cultural symbolism that is intended to stimulate the users of these libraries and in turn potentially increase the readership and usage of these libraries on the wheels. less
