Citing  the influence of Joseph Cornell and Santiago Bose, Roldan juxtaposes  objects, images, and textual fragments as a means to reject the idea  of historical certainty and propose new social, political, and cultural  narratives in its place. Often employing the material embodiments  of various genres and themes in a single collage, Roldan harnesses  poignant aspects of shared and personal biography.  Roldan’s “Viper” (2015) is an oil and acrylic painting on canvas that  juxtaposes a black-and-white image of a fighter jet with a quote  swiped from Jack Kerouac that reads: “Don’t use the phone. People  are never ready to answer it. Use poetry”. This piece is one of Roldan’s  several diptychs that each have one side of the canvas containing an  image, and the other a text quote, some of which seem to have little  to do with the subject matter at first, yet the ambiguity of which gives  the viewer much to ponder on.
