New Quarter

2003
Mixed Media on Canvas

250 x 250cm

In New Quarter, all the characters of the barrio turn out: the pimpish don, moustachioed wideboy and the scar-faced bandito/padre. The ravished tower-block ghetto is a kiddie version of Atari graphics. It's a painting of communal harmony; a portrait of a seedy underworld eroding in Benetton colours.
