Rafael Canogar (b. 1935). The artwork in the image is titled El Arresto II (The Arrest II) (1972). Canogar is a significant Spanish artist known for co-founding the El Paso group and for his work in both informal abstraction and figurative art with socio-political themes, such as police brutality. This piece is from Canogar's second figurative period. It breaks the barrier between painting and sculpture to create a 3D effect, focusing on themes of dehumanization, repression, and social critique. The sculpture of the figure against the wall with hands up is depicted alongside a painted shadow figure holding what appears to be a gun. Image ©MACA/the Author 2026
