Putti Peeing | Horacio Quiroz

In Putti Peeing, a figure composed of a monumental torso in the shape of an intertwined symbol and psychedelic marbles seems to parody the classical sculpture of the urinating cherub, but on a cosmic scale. The stream of urine, here transformed into a thin vital thread, flows from swollen genitals emerging from the stone like a fleshy bubble, insisting on humor as a critical force. The putto, far from its Baroque innocence, transforms into a mineral and grotesquely sensual entity that questions notions of purity, bodily functionality, and the relationship between the sacred and the escatological.
