"There is no need to fear clichés" is based on the idea of how political-cultural contexts condition artistic production.
The work establishes a relationship between a straitjacket, a flag and two self-portraits of artists with opposing positions in the face of the same situation; on the one hand, conciliation and on the other, resistance.
The piece is part of a series of works carried out as interventions in public spaces, which aim to underline how the languages of art reproduce a search for aesthetic expressions established by culture. In this case, we start from an aesthetic of the advertising image, linked to a political symbol that encompasses certain ways of life and ways of thinking, with patterns no more liberating than others, coming from other contexts; to which the artists and their productions are subject, to continue underlining the return to these same positions and stereotypes.
