Curatorial Description:
In The Christian Bullfighter, ArNoUx portrays a spiritual warrior not in the arena of spectacle, but in the arena of the soul. The central figure—a torero—appears raw, unsettled, and human, surrounded by shadowy forms that evoke saints, spectators, or accusers. His expression, carved from heavy brushwork, reveals a man both brave and broken.
The palette leans into bruised purples, faded yellows, and sacred reds, with aggressive strokes that reflect inner battles rather than public glory. This is not a glorification of bullfighting—it is a reinterpretation: the torero as martyr, believer, and human caught between fate and faith.
Like many of ArNoUx’s works, The Christian Bullfighter
