Lazer Fundora — Eros o Thanatos
Lazer Fundora

Eros o Thanatos

A richly textured composition painted in oil and animal glue on linen, Fundora's *Eros o Thanatos* explores the eternal tension between desire and death through visceral, deeply layered surfaces. The work draws on the Freudian duality of its title, invoking primal drives rendered in a material language that feels simultaneously ancient and urgent. Fundora's handling of the linen ground and adhesive medium adds a raw, corporeal quality to the painting, as if the canvas itself breathes with the weight of its subject.
