The American artist Clare E. Rojas (Ohio, USA, 1976) is presenting an individual exhibition for the first time in Spain, and in it she will be turning to a drawing-based installation to show the world of iconography behind American folk imagery, through her complex vision of "folk art".

Animal anthropology, landscapes and the various characters: all emerge as visual references to American folk culture and traditional lore. With no straight narrative behind them, her drawings each offer a fragment of unreality, an alternate world in which the women characters can escape from contemporary realities.

The result is a large composition of scenes that form a kind of graphic novel telling of a complex, allegory rich world. Her appropriation of various folk images to address female social concerns is directly related to the feminist tradition of the 1970s, and more specifically to Miriam Schapiro and Judy Chicago.
