Crack Rodriguez lives and works in El Salvador.

A conceptual street artist, he allows himself to explore and renounce the conventional format as an essence. His questionings range from mere speculation to more childish dialogues. He subtly places childish traps, which question power, identity, memory, consumption, entertainment, creed, violence, safety and education. As an artist he is influenced by the school and philosophy of ‘Landings Project’ by Joan Duran, a project that brought together artists from Central America, The Caribbean and South Mexico.

He is a member of ‘The Fire Theory’ an artistic project, which produces art.

Currently going through a judicial process for its most emblematic piece ALL YOU CAN REFEEL in which he was accused for electoral fraud for having eaten part of the electoral voting ballot in the recent presidential elections in El Salvador questioning the relationship of hunger and power.
