Iván Navarro — Esto es Malo
Iván Navarro

Esto es Malo

"Esto es Malo" by Chilean artist Iván Navarro is a provocative work that reflects his signature exploration of power, language, and political resistance. Navarro frequently employs neon light and mirrored surfaces to transform simple words or phrases into disorienting, infinite visual statements that challenge the viewer's perception. The title, translating to "This is Bad," suggests the work carries his characteristic use of blunt, loaded language as a tool for social and political commentary.
