La Herencia, by tinku on Oct 3, 2024 18:34:10 GMT 1, This version of La Herencia is currently in San Francisco, USA (it is ready to be shipped as well, if needed). The piece was going to be acquired by a human rights organization in the Bay Area, but we are considering working on a piece of different dimensions, and has therefore become available for sale. Please feel free to PM me if interested or if you have any doubts or comments.



La Herencia

Hand-cut stencils, aerosol and acrylic paint on canvas
⌀ 135 cm
Tinku, 2018

Based on a photograph by 360º

La Herencia is a four-layered stencil. Cutting it by hand took me five months.
This is a text I wrote back in 2018 about La Herencia:

My generation grew up with tales of defeat. They told us of markets that distributed everything, of the victory of technique in the face of ideologies, of the absolute supremacy of the individual self and its insatiable thirst for profit, of fragmented struggles and increasingly brief, banal and fleeting exchanges.

My generation grew up with tales of defeat, but also inherited experiences and longings, that resurface at times whispered, at times loud and clear.

La Herencia is a tribute to those who taught us to dream and build a society in which the intelligence, organization, solidarity and creativity of the many prevail, in which science and culture are communal patrimony and not tools of oppression and exploitation. “La Herencia” is a tribute to those that taught us to struggle for a society in which no one reaps the fruits of another’s work, in which man ceases to be a wolf to man.
