“Ritual Satánico” is a striking double-sided work by Costus, created in mixed media on vivid orange cardboard. One side features a bold, linear depiction of nude male figures rendered in expressive red contours. The composition is dominated by a cut-out newspaper headline reading “Ritual Satánico,” adding a layer of cultural irony and referencing the sensationalist tone of Spanish press from the era.
The reverse side presents another figurative scene, also executed in the duo’s unmistakable graphic style, featuring strong outlines, tropical foliage, and saturated colors. Together, both faces of the piece highlight Costus’ provocative visual language and their characteristic blend of pop culture, subversion, and theatrical exaggeration. As a double-sided artwork, it reflects the playful versatility and raw immediacy typical of their production on paper and cardboard.
