I Will Not Perpetrate Any More Personal Attacks

Painting, Portrait, Political / Social, Ideas, Mixed technique, 46x55x2cm
"I Will Not Perpetrate Any More Personal Attacks" presents different elements, combined on the surface of a canvas.
The title of the work, a statement formulated as a prohibitive precept, is painted in large letters upon the official portrait of Donald Trump as president of the United States. Several stick figures and other painted details complete the defacement of the portrait.
The explicit contradiction between the statement and the iconoclastic gesture results in a set of unresolved tensions, a field where the political engagement has to deal with the use of rhetoric and the fundamental restlessness of images and language.
