#08: El Barril (The Barrel) 2008

Marina Pallares's 2008 woodcut print, "#08: El Barril (The Barrel)", is a striking example of the artist's black and white aesthetic. The print features a large, central barrel labeled "Tequila", surrounded by a series of smaller, bottle-like shapes. The bold, graphic lines create a sense of depth and texture, emphasizing the wooden construction of the barrel. Pallares' use of contrasting black and white creates a powerful visual impact, drawing the viewer's eye to the central motif and evoking a sense of traditional Mexican craftsmanship.
