Personaje Femenino para Cómic (1980) belongs to the recortable series in which Costus created cut-out figures on card, and is notable as one of the rare works in which they turned their attention to a female figure. Signed by Enrique Naya Igueravide and dated 1980, the work demonstrates the duo’s engagement with comic book aesthetics and popular illustration — visual languages they consistently treated as equivalent to fine art in expressive potential.
Costus — Juan Carrero Galofré and Enrique Naya Igueravide — were among the defining artists of La Movida Madrileña, the social and cultural movement that transformed Spanish life after the Franco dictatorship. Working in Madrid from the late 1970s until Carrero Galofré’s death from AIDS in 1989, they produced a body of work that combined pop aesthetics, Mediterranean chromatic intensity, gay male imagery, and an irrepressible visual energy.
This work is sold and forms part of a private collection. It is presented here as part of the Imago Dei Gallery archive of significant works by Costus.
