ATALANTE III / CACHORRA DEL MAL, woodcut, Irving Herrera 2009

A brutal and poetic image of bodily resistance — Herrera’s ATALANTE III binds and bares with ritual clarity. With ATALANTE III, Irving Herrera pushes his series into rawer terrain: a masked figure, topless and staring upward, is cinched across the chest with black bands that distort the phrase CÁCHORRA DEL MAL — a possible alias or alter ego, turned into both costume and constraint.
