Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 153)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Pedro Meyer Barreto. Rangda, which is the demon queen of the Leyaks in Bali, as I've just read in the Wikipedia. The Leyaks are a bunch of humans who practice evil magic and cannibalism. His work is a painting using indian ink, dip pen, and gouache on paper. 100 x 74 centimeters. 2004. It feels brand new to me, like I only vaguely remember seeing something like it at the art show. Nice piece of expressionism, really. I thought it was about a war victim, or something, but then I read about the child-eating demon queen of the Leyaks, and it took a weird turn to some ancient fearsome universe. Good show!
