Butterflies

  • federico cortese
from the series “Please do not kill butterflies”, pins, oil and pencil on paper, different sizes. 2014.
Please, all these dead animals ... Of course, not everyone of us can or want become vegetarian. Sure, in some cases, maybe, the medical experimentation needs them to get results. But we really have to kill them for our frivolous activities? ... Is it necessary to have so many pink pigs die in front of a camera? Do we really need to dissect sharks in formaldehyde, to starve stray dogs tied to a chain in the corner of a gallery, or to make innocent ants go crazy in twisted tubes of plexiglas? To make these drawings, no butterfly was killed.
Most of these artworks have been sold already. Contact me in case you want to know which ones are still available or just in case you want to know more about my work!
