Artwork Description

“Series of 6 paintings I made on amate paper (handmade paper already made in Central America even before the arrival of the Europeans), paper I acquired on my trip to Mexico in 1999. It wasn't until 2016 that I was able to see a connection that made sense between the paintings, which depict butcher's shops in the interior of Brazil, and the butcher's shops I also saw in the interior of Mexico. Something of a memory of the history of human sacrifices in the pyramids and the cruel death of animals, the undignified treatment of the meat itself led me to this repertoire that I called a holocaust, a systematized genocide of certain species.” - Osvaldo Carvalho 38 x 28 cm (unframed) 52 x 42.5 cm (framed)
