Victory Collage

Toledo not only builds these works on the superimposition of different references but also reinforces that character through the procedure used in its realization. Each one of these images is built with thousands of small metal fragments, carved during hundreds of hours of work by Toledo himself and his workshop assistants. Once placed in place, the pieces are painted to acquire each of the colors that the final panel will have. The materiality of these works -constructed in the collaboration and combination of infinite fragments- insists on the meaning of the images erected on the fabric of a visual history of the West. So far, in this interpretation, Che appears as a reference, an explicitly alluded image or an appropriation. However, the myth of the revolutionary can be more than a visual signal and become an analogy for the works of Toledo. In other words, these pieces share qualities with which we attribute to the construction of a myth, understanding as such a model figure surrounded by “extraordinary admiration and esteem”. Specifically, I am referring to two characteristics: multiplicity and the way of negotiating the contradiction. Agustin Diez Fischer / Art historian
