“Las Chochonis paren solas” is a bold and provocative mixed-media work on cardboard by Costus, executed with the duo’s unmistakable graphic immediacy. The composition centers on a stylized female figure in a squatting pose, outlined with strong black contours against an intense red background. The raw simplicity of the linework, together with the expressive use of color, reflects Costus’ engagement with themes of gender, sexuality, and socio-cultural commentary during the 1980s.
Text integrated into the composition amplifies its confrontational tone and reveals the artists’ affinity for direct, irreverent, and subversive visual language. The work exemplifies the duo’s ability to merge humor, critique, and theatrical exaggeration into a single, powerful image characteristic of their paper-based production.
