Restricted Access includes a series of works (watercolors, drawings and sculptures) from recent years of the artist that explore, from a deviant figuration—as usual in his work—the difficulty of looking, the stillness of an armored loneliness and the sterility of language.

His work, obsessive and insistent, is an exercise in seeing that inevitably leads to blindness and that goes beyond light. By accumulating images and piling up light the gaze is paralyzed. The images dazzle, and consequently they both unveil and mute.

Roig’s reflection about the gaze has assumed the exhibition model as “an alteration device” with a clear intention of building a visual intervention, posing a dialogue with multiple historic traditions and iconographies that reveal its multiple narrative possibilities.
