The body of work in this catalog was produced from 2016 to 2018, and is based on a larger iconographic work that the author began in 2005. The core pieces evoke illuminated manuscripts, created on leather parchment and rice paper, imagining them as lost pages from an ancient codex or mythological treatise.

Produktbeschreibung
The body of work in this catalog was produced from 2016 to 2018, and is based on a larger iconographic work that the author began in 2005. The core pieces evoke illuminated manuscripts, created on leather parchment and rice paper, imagining them as lost pages from an ancient codex or mythological treatise. The images present a personal iconography of invented and appropriated symbols, uniquely arranged, combined, transformed, and depicted in cosmo-mythological and archetypal diagrams, as well as in scenes from a mythological pantheon. The imagery also suggests hieroglyphic or linguistic arrangements, a visual syntax using the Codex's symbols and archetypes. The theme points to hermetic, ancient languages, and mystical treatises. The exhibition's catalog explains the pantheon, the meaning of the symbols, and their interconnection.

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
