Rhodes was born in 1975 in Nancy, a city in the East of France ; he now lives in Auray, French Brittany. Itza Community is the name of his minimal and psychedelic graphic project using vector-based drawing techniques.
After observing that some of the Maya sculptures and reliefs were somehow expressing a similar vibe to contemporary psychedelic creations, I went through a thorough research about "primitive" arts in general, and more specifically Precolombian art (Olmec, Maya, Zapotec, Toltec, Aztec...civilizations) in which my work finds its roots. In addition, I am very fond of psychedelic graphic design and amongst the numerous artists I admire, two in particular have had a significant influence on my work, that is Rick Griffin for the 70's, and NOS, the UV backdrop designer.
In all my drawings you can find the notions of gate, door and guardian. My creatures are to be understood as different appearances for the same polymorphous entity, guardian of the access to other truths, other perceptions. Their aspects may inspire the observer all kind of feelings, some provoke laughter, other fear, all the emotions you can encounter during a journey.
I wish to make each one of my drawings a meditation device, whose contemplation can bring to stimulation of awareness and liberation of energies. Symetry is the tantric representation of duality : The base of our universe.
