When you put yourself in front of a work of Rallitox, the first idea is clear. And if you dare to call it for its name, and ask him for the morphology of the protagonists, Rallitox's response is quick: "This is how I see people."
These characters are a reflection of what has been the theme of this artist's work throughout his career: media manipulation, the attitude of an alienated society.
His work has been evolving in line with his experiences and changes. He acknowledges cubist and expressionist influences, but ultimately his work has established its own language in which you can easily recognize his work, and by a first strike of view you know you're watching a Rallitox work.
And is not just the fact that the ways and shapes of his work
are deeply personal; is also that his basic canvas is the street.
We have all seen his work, and even if you don't look at the signature,
the eye recognizes the paint, paper.
This rebellion is part of the irreverence of his speech. Not only
his characters have unacceptable forms at many levels, but also
they carry posters, clear messages, own shares that are a constant
reminder to which he feels connected. Is this the loyalty that
he keeps to his work and that assumes with full knowledge that
this autoboicot does not help open certain doors at all, but it
completely supports the message.
Sometimes we talk about conceptual art, and associate it with the misunderstanding of the shapes. For Rallitox the association is not only clean, but also in some way is accessible to everyone, since the shape is universally understood, but the centre of the work is without any question, the concept.
