The show also contains a large, dark painting by de Villota that bears graffiti-like scrawls of the names of sites where the innocent shed blood, like Auschwitz, Armenia, New York, Nagasaki, Gaza and Darfur. A bit of fabric striped like a concentration camp uniform is stuck to the canvas, as are several dark silhouettes of figures. Brushy, vaguely skull-like forms bubble to the painting's surface. It's a pretty good piece, and it somehow manages to more effectively convey the feelings the artist is going for with his far more overt installation. Funny that.
