Ibirapema: 'This Fighting Christians is Not Like Eating Tortillas'
Herbert de Paz

Increasingly, the way canons are operated in the field of art history seeks possibilities for (re)elaboration of the past, through a critical stance towards the traditional regime of image circulation. In the research of Salvadoran artist Herbert De Paz, colonial processes of artistic and cultural interpretation dissolve in the decapitation of rudiments of a Euro-Christian episteme. His paintings reveal insurgent silhouettes, configuring a complex field of discursive dispute in the face of socially generated ways of seeing and inhabiting the world.
