Lucas Ospinas delicate drawings and watercolors explore the ideological implications in common expressions and everyday forms of spoken language. In his latest series Hair, the artist makes cartoon-ish drawings in which bodily hair links the characters to each other, thus establishing relations of subordination -with obvious sexual undertones: a goatee becomes someone elses pubic hair, a long mane ends up being someone elses armpit. When the characters are identified as critic, artist, gallerist, curator and so on, the implications are obvious (and often hilarious).
