Detritus

Carlos Colombino conceived, in 1962, the technique known as xilopintura, which consists of digging the wood, as if it were the matrix of a woodcut, and then painting it. Instead of using it, therefore, to get prints, it becomes the end product. The work "Detritus" was present at the exhibition "Carlos Colombino - Summary of an Anthology" at the Oscar Niemeyer Museum in 2006. It is part of a series that represents the empty planet, where the Earth was devastated and only debris, remains . Series inspired by Cerro Koi, a rocky outcrop located in Areguá, Paraguay.
