Claudio Jimenez Quispe (Peru), 2017
Painted plaster sculpture in painted wood box
(9 3/4″ h. x 11 3/4″ w. x 3″ d.).
Claudio explained to me that this retablo depicts the underworld of people that live well below the poverty line in Peruvian society – living by “reciclando”, competing with the rats and dogs to recycle the trash and garbage produced by the society.
