Miguel A. Arag\u00f3n: Indices of Silence\/\u00cdndices del silencio<\/h5>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Arag\u00f3n<\/strong>'s heroic-sized prints address the war on drugs unfolding in his hometown of Ciudad Ju\u00e1rez, Mexico. Using innovative print techniques, such as cutting woodblocks and paper with an\u00a0industrial-grade hand drill, he creates gripping portraits that humanize the victims of this violence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

      A Closer Look at Retrato No. 18 (Cobre)<\/i>, 2019\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

      One of the more recent prints in Arag\u00f3n\u2019s ongoing series about the Mexican war on drugs,\u00a0Retrato No. 18 (Cobre)<\/i>\u00a0is a portrait made by spraying copper paint through a stencil that he hand drilled. The work references the Mexican idiom \u201cEstas sacando el cobre,\u201d which literally translates as \u201cto take out the copper \u2014 an equivalent of the English-language idiom \u201cto show your true colors.\u201d According to the artist, the copper color also abstractly references skin color.\u00a0Retrato No. 18 (Cobre)<\/i>\u00a0sends a powerful message about the politics of ethnicity and class within the already fraught Mexican war on drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n
