A portrait of contemporary Spain?

Burgos-born artist Ausín Sáinz had this and other artistic works removed by municipal staff in Salamanca with the aid of the police.

The paintings were subsequently dumped on the street and left in the heavy rain. The exhibition he had been preparing was cancelled.

Plastic arts are a very valid and most accurate means of portraying reality. Sáinz is no doubt a talented painter and demonstrates some flair for certain colours, shapes and hairdos.
