Manuel Franquelo Giner denounces from different disciplines the accelerated pace of industrial manufacturing and food waste. Sustainability in all aspects is, without a doubt, the leitmotiv in his production. In "Baby calf" Franquelo reflects on the oppression of animals through the representation of a stuffed calf whose throat is slit at the slaughterhouse and from whose belly its entrails hang. The colorful viscera adds a certain naive touch to the crudeness of the image.
Manuel Franquelo-Giner lives and works in Madrid. He studied? Fine Arts at the UCM and currently collaborates with Factum Arte. He has participated in national and international contemporary art fairs such as ARCO, Estampa, Photobasel, ArtLima or Forosur, as well as in different exhibitions in public institutions such as the CSIC, Conde Duque and the Centro de Arte Alcobendas in Madrid, or the Centre del Carme in Valencia.
