Los Aficianados 1990

Red Grooms’ 1990 mixed-media artwork, *Los Aficianados*, portrays a bullfight scene. The piece features a stylized bull and matador in the center, surrounded by a vibrant depiction of the bullring and spectators. The background is dominated by a stylized, large orange sun with a blue sky. Grooms' work is known for its playful, three-dimensional, and often theatrical approach, which is evident in *Los Aficianados*. The artist's use of bold colors and cartoonish figures brings a sense of humor and lightheartedness to the often-serious subject of bullfighting. This piece is a testament to Grooms’ signature style, which combines elements of pop art, assemblage, and theatrical design.
