Robbed by Rogues is a comic book that uses humour and an exaggerated mystical tone to address issues such as social inequality, a lack of opportunity, the reactions of a poisoned land and the passage of time. Its characters experience adventures and seek help in a devastated landscape where humour is an inevitable consequence rather than a personal choice. Unscrupulous crooks, losers and hustlers come together in these cartoons, leading to reflections, conflicts and also comical situations. No one would guess, but above all their setbacks lies the search for wisdom, something that only a few of them will find.
Aldo Urbano lives and works in Barcelona. His work constructs enigmas whose ultimate meaning is elusive, especially for himself. He uses painting to explore the mechanisms of perception in the quest for a refreshing experience. In order to do this, he creates installations in which such an experience can be possible. His work also leans towards drawing and writing, with which he adopts narrative forms akin to comics where irony and humour are both present.
