Our New Artist: Introducing—Rafael Arocha
posted on November 13, 2011 by Gina Hong
Rafael Arocha is an established fine art photographer who currently lives and works in Barcelona. He was born in Gran Canaria, Spain and has participated in numerous exhibitions throughout his home country. Despite strong ties to Spain, his work is universally relevant; he explores conceptual arenas such as memory, ritual, and ephemerality. In grappling with these subjects, Arocha exhibits a wide range of styles, from intensely dramatic to quietly piercing. In this curated selection from his recent series, Midnight, the photographer uses some of his most powerful techniques to deliver a body of work that is simultaneously charmingly honest and incredibly complex. Arocha examines memory, making us aware of its beautiful but fallible nature with his investigation through intimate worlds, coming in contact with obsessions, doubts, and emotions.
