The killer cow | Óscar Seco

Óscar Seco develops a critical pictorial practice that subverts historical, political, and social narratives through a hybrid iconography that combines war tradition, comic book aesthetics, and apocalyptic imagery. His dense and narrative compositions integrate historical references and dystopian scenarios with a fragmented visual structure loaded with symbolism. Formally, he combines rigorous drawing with parodic and grotesque elements, creating a tension between artifice and content. His color palette alternates between saturated palettes and black and white, always depending on the visual discourse. Conceptually, his work operates through symbolic revisionism, questioning the mythologies of power, collective memory, and structural violence through irony, appropriation, and anachronism.
