Description |
Very popular theme created for collectors who like chickens and who were less interested in the macabre scenes and skeleton figures that this artist is best known for. This work exemplifies his style, an "X-ray" approach that allows one to either engage or ignore the artist's macabre aesthetic that reveals and captures the image of decaying flesh to reveal and exposed skeletal form of the bird. Made in Tlapajuhua, Michoacan, Mexico |
