Confessions of Rocio Garcia

Over a series of months, Corina Matamoros maintained a long conversation with the Cuban artist Rocío García on her life and work, in order to understand her singular vision of reality. The result is a broad range of confessions that go from chosen subjects – mainly social, erotic and political – and the influence of comics on her narrative style of painting. As her storyboard paintings demonstrate, García is a visual writer with an extraordinary technique. This volume includes her last works: El Thriller, Very, very Light and very oscuro. (Un policía con Alzheimer), El Castigador, El regreso de Jack el Castigador and The Mission. Text in English and Spanish.
