About this artwork
This bishop is not in penance, he is in evidence.
Bishop in Trouble presents a blurred clerical visage that becomes a battlefield where religious authority loses shape, consistency, and respect. Acrylic and spray paint on burlap create surfaces that resist supporting the figure, as if its power were dissolving before our eyes. The rough texture acts as a visual trap and metaphor, denouncing the fragility of an institution that has hidden abuse… behind its vestments.
Part of "Iconoclasias," this piece was born from years in Cuba watching the Church negotiate with the powers that be, then decades in Spain witnessing the same compromises. The clothing changes, but the structure remains the same: men who speak in the name of God while silencing those who point out their crimes.
The burlap doesn't seek to please but to grate the eye, to leave a mark to show that we poor people exist, we are there, marked but resisting.
Ian Mont (Puerto Padre, 1972) paints the memory that exile fragmented.
He exhibited in Cuba during the 1990s until a scholarship brought him to Spain in 2006. He never returned. Between 2006 and 2018, he survived by working in technology, the painting being buried along with the works he couldn't get off the island.
Since 2018, he has returned to oil, burlap, and rough materials, but his practice has mutated. He combines traditional painting with artificial intelligence applied to historical archives, working with photographs of Ellis Island and colonial records to reconstruct what was silenced. The series "Iconoclasms" and "Animals in Conflict" dismantle sacred and national symbols to reveal their hidden violence.
From Barcelona, he develops a visual archaeology of Atlantic migration. He doesn't seek beauty, he seeks testimony. The wound doesn't heal, it breathes.
