Produktbeschreibung
Visually astonishing, and insightful, Chronicles of Entanglement, debuts Rodrigo de Toledo's unique blend of illustrated fiction, graphic novel, and artist book. He takes us into the landscapes of a poetic and graphic mythology, through intricate illustrations of a whimsical imaginary world. Immersing into magical realism, the book reveals the wandering of a seeker's soul, and a dramatic rendezvous between artist and muse. An intimate tale of search for beauty and identity in a foreign land, portrayed with open, deep, and colorful tones. Strained in a reality that flows like a film in front of his eyes, a man struggles between childhood memories, a rich fantasy world, and what he thinks are short extra-sensorial spiritual perceptions. The eyes constantly flooded by images that leak from his active mind, distractions that superimpose his life's reality. An entirely dysfunctional object, a complex kinetic contraption with a will of its own, that for many years demanded complete dedication from him, now disregards his existence. Accidently, he stumbles on a gateway to a colorful and disturbing universe, the direct access to the unconscious realm, where he interacts with shifting panoramas of the soul. Puzzled by such a life changing vision, he is determined to discover if he has been plagued by yet a larger curse or blessed by the long-waited path to sanity.

Autorenporträt
Rodrigo de Toledo (M.F.A. School of the Art Institute of Chicago) is a Brazilian-American contemporary artist, designer, and visual communication professor. Inspired by ancient religious icons, mythological archetypes, Jungian psychology, cartoons, and superheroes, his work explores questions of identity and spirituality, as well as the media's effect on personal memory and fantasy. In the past decade, he has focused on the design of a personal mythology and its visual iconography-an inner research that he describes as psycho-archaeology. Rodrigo employs a surreal pop visual style in cross-media blends of digital imaging, graphic novels, painting, interactivity, installation, and animation. Since 1990 his whimsical imaginary world has been exhibited around the globe in museums, galleries, festivals, and the media. http://www.neurondiva.com
