INDIANA CHRISTOV (b. 1987)
El Cuche en Cueros (The Pig in Leathers)

2019

aquatint, sugarlift, and drypoint 

acuatinta, acuatina al azúcar, y punta seca ​

The artist’s muse, a young man who is an actor and dancer, posed for this image. The dramatic lighting and subject’s elegant, theatrical posture contrasts with the mask he wears of a crying pig. The image explores issues of male nudity, sexuality, and allure while also questioning assumed male roles of animal aggression and voraciousness. While darkly humorous and somewhat sad, the figure also becomes the viewer’s object of desire.

La musa del artista, un joven actor y bailarín, posó para esta imagen. La iluminación dramática y la postura elegante y teatral del sujeto contrastan con el uso de una máscara de un cerdo gruñendo. La imagen explora cuestiones de desnudez masculina, sexualidad y atractivo, al mismo tiempo que cuestiona los roles masculinos asumidos de agresión y voracidad animal. Si bien tiene un humor oscuro y algo triste, la figura también se convierte en el tema del deseo del espectador.
