About the Work: The Costa Rican artist, Adrián Arguedas created at the beginning of the 1990s a series of prints that criticize the corruption and institutional hypocrisy through his grotesque figures that resemble journalistic photographs. The use of black and white in his prints allows the artist the push the medium to emphasize a metaphorical contrast in his subjects about the good and the bad represented in his images of social injustice. Arguedas, following the legacy of Costa-Rican modern artist and printmaker Francisco Amighetti, is known in Central American for his great mastery on printmaking, especially on the technique of xylography.
