I think that admire
is not the word that describe what I feel for this artist, but I
really like the work of Antonio Becerro, he is an artist who
experiment with taxidermy, not all of his work it's related to do
that, but a big part it is.
He is the founder of
an art center called “La Perrera”, in the 80' the government used
that place to sacrifice dogs from the street. Years later, Becerro
establish the art center honoured all the dogs who died in there.
In 2013, one of his
last work was present at the National Museum of Fine Art, the name of
the exposition was “Encontraron Cielo”. I really loved go there
and see all of the scultures of dogs, because the idea of the
exposition makes an allusion to all the dogs who was killed or died
on the street. He charactherize the chilean dog, the “quiltro”
and I am crazy about dogs and animals in general, so, make art with
those deads is the intersting thing of the work of Antonio Becerro.
For me, the contemorany art need to take more attention of this
situation, because you can express your art in many ways, and make
visible this problem is one of them.
Wow, I didn't know any artist from "La Perrera", I hope there is more street interventions about the animal subject. It would be interesting.

So sad that I never knew about the exposition, because I find the topic of "Encontraron cielo" work very touching
