"Leão do Anglo Latino" [Anglo-Latino Lion] (1976) belongs to a moment in which the artist brought together popular imagery and constructivist logic. By appropriating a figurative motif drawn from the media universe, he reconfigures it through a synthetic language defined by color structures. Made with industrial materials, the work articulates the boundaries between art, design, and mass culture, reflecting the artist’s interest in rethinking how images circulate and are constructed in everyday life.
