About this artwork
Saint Sebastian has been a symbol of queer iconography since the Renaissance, a symbol of erotic suffering and beautiful death. This work rejects that aestheticization.
The layers of industrial paint are contemporary arrows that pierce the image again and again, replicating five centuries of violence against dissident bodies. The title indicates a historical repetition of martyrdom that never ends because the violence that created it continues.… The drips are blood that won't clot, the fillings are flesh that won't heal.
As a witness to three decades of migration crisis, this work connects religious martyrdom with contemporary necropolitics. The more than 27,000 drowned in the Mediterranean are a new San Sebastian, crossed by borders rather than arrows.

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.
