"A Tribe Called Matter"
120x90cm Acrylic on canvas 2016

This piece ensembles a variety of influences and symbolisms. It recalls the San Sebastain martyr used in relation to depicting the injustice suffered by afro americans in the USA in this actual period under the label "Black Lives Matter". The colors of the composition recall on both the "black panthers" movement and the "A tribe called quest" "Midnight Marauders" 1993's album cover art. I like taking different media, besides anacronic icons, refferences and simbolysms from other times and cultures to mix them (and reintrepret them) with a contemporary take on the subject.
