Anthropophagy (and other tales from the forest) 200x150cm Acrylics, oil sticks, calligraphy inks and pastels on raw cotton canvas Some paintings have a raw story to tell, and this is one of them. This large piece is heavily inspired by the idea of anthropophagy, drawing a parallel between the ritual practice of some Indigenous tribes in Brazil who, before European colonization, cannibalised their enemies not out of hunger or savagery, but to absorb their strength, courage and spirit; a ritualistic process of self-transformation.
