As a pioneer of the Figuration Narrative movement, he is both pop and baroque at the same time. Using an

academic technique, he combines images from various sources. It all started in the late 1950s with scissors and

glue. Advertisements, newspapers, posters, political propaganda, comics, he collects everything he sees,

everything he reads. He cuts and assembles, composing a collage, which can be seen as an outline for the

painting to come.

What interests him above all is our visual and political culture. From Mao Zedong to the Gulf War, he recounts what everyone knows and can recognize...the figures of despots, the world and its con icts, the war of images.

In 1963, when reaching New York he launched the Scapes series, an uninterrupted flow of images that saturate

the painting’s surface. Thus, an infinitely complex narrative is established, leaving freedom of interpretation to the

viewer. "Painting is a way of seeking to discover the meaning of a confused world," says Erró.
