Artist Spotlight: For Alison Rodrigues (@catecismo__ ), painting begins with a simple instinct: to create something his 8-year-old self would have loved.

Having started drawing as a child, inspired by cartoons on TV and comic books, Rodrigues’s practice carries that same desire to build worlds of his own. An expert at juxtaposing chroma and figure,  he often draws from urban landscapes tied to his Afro-Brazilian heritage.
