Spain
In this provocative and textured painting, Cal Fraser confronts the viewer with an unsettling blend of eroticism, labor, and allegory. A central figure, clad in yellow, draws forth a raw, fleshy form from the opening of his trousers—simultaneously suggestive of both sausage-making and a grotesque metaphor for masculinity or colonial legacy. The work echoes themes of meat, identity, and performance, inviting reflection on power, exploitation, and the body as both subject and object in European history.
Part of a wider series on the continent’s fragmented past, this chapter uses figurative distortion and earthy tones to underscore the physical and political violence embedded in cultural memory.
