This compelling contemporary phallic deconstruction drawing showcases the brilliant drafting intuition and raw identity exploration of contemporary artist Celso José Castro Daza within his celebrated Everyday Life in the Valley collection. Executed with carbon pencil on premium cotton paper, this unique large-scale masterpiece puts into tension the limits imposed by the traditional gender system and phallocentric order through systematic anatomical repetition. The visual layout anchors a powerful vertical perspective tracking a dense, multi-layered cluster of fragmented male penises, each meticulously detailed and inscribed with handwritten names such as Carlos, Fabian, Mario, Ricardo, and Diomedes to turn the skin surfaces into a pure landscape of historical memory and forbidden desires.

Celso Castro is a referent of Colombian Caribbean art who has been drawing men for more than four decades, studying at the Pratt Institute in New York. In his works, Castro exalts the male genitalia, putting into tension the limits imposed by the sex/gender system that are part of an unquestioned patriarchal and phallocentric order. Most ment the ones he portrays are inhabitants of the Colombian coast, also constructing alternative ways of conceiving Latin American identity. By breaking taboos on corporality and male sexuality, his work has been censored on many occasions due to public accusations of immorality and pornography.
