Sangre. Artemio Narrro

In Sangre (Blood), Mexican artist Artemio dismantles some of the most violent images in the history of Western painting, leaving behind only their bloody trace. Drawing on references such as Goya, Otto Dix, Turner, and Rembrandt, he removes bodies and narratives until the paintings are reduced to stains, remnants, and vestiges that oscillate between abstraction and the scene of a crime.

The exhibition questions how the West has historically transformed pain and war into admirable images. Here, horror is no longer represented; it remains as residue. In direct dialogue with a present saturated by violence and visual overexposure, Sangre confronts the viewer with a collective memory that continues to recognize trauma even when it has almost disappeared.
