Brother. 2008

Erro, born in 1932, created this vibrant and chaotic scene using an arsenal of found images. His work often collides figures and symbols from diverse cultural contexts, reflecting a world saturated with media. Erro was active during the politically charged decades of the 60s and 70s, a time of intense ideological conflict. In *Brother.*, the imagery evokes a clash between East and West through the juxtaposition of stereotyped figures. A snarling Asian man points aggressively, while next to him a woman is being attacked by a blue mythical creature. The scene is a pastiche of conflicting narratives and power dynamics, all under the caption of the artwork which is the word "Brother". Erro's art challenges viewers to confront the complexities of globalization and cultural identity. He doesn't offer easy answers, but rather presents a complex picture of our world. What narratives are clashing here? What emotions are being conveyed? Consider how *Brother.* invites you to confront the chaos of cultural intersection and the narratives that shape our perceptions.
