📝 Curatorial Description (English):
In Torero, ArNoUx channels the intensity and ritual of the bullfighter through a fierce expressionist palette. The fragmented figure dressed in red dominates the foreground, their face layered with black and white contrasts—mask-like, iconic. Behind them, spectral witnesses hover in abstract blue and green washes, suggesting memory, fear, or ancestral presence. The texture is bold and tactile, as if the canvas itself bore witness to the spectacle. The work captures the paradox of strength and fragility, drama and absurdity—a matador not only of bulls, but of internal battles.
