Mondongo (collective)

"[7] Their intention, reminiscent of Pop Art,[8] is to produce work of high artistic quality that can be appreciated equally by "all strata [of society] ... the neighbour or a museum director".

[1] Originally painters in oils and acrylics, as a collective they characteristically express their critiques of society and culture through the choice of particular unusual material as well as the image itself.

They used it for a series of imaginary landscapes inspired by a visit to Entre Ríos,[4][10] for landscape collages peopled by cavorting topless women with snarling cat heads,[7] for a series on "Little Red Riding Hood" based on the darker Perrault version of the story[2][8][7] and also for a series of twelve skulls whose surfaces are covered with scenes and people, thematic portraits of figures such as Jorge Luis Borges and topics such as money;[5][6] these are intended as "a representation of the history of humanity in which the myths of present and past history, the myths of children's fairytales and the myths of consumer society with its social divisions [all] coexist.

Other media they have used for portraits include cotton thread for a series including Rodolfo Enrique Fogwill,[4] pearls for María Amalia Lacroze de Fortabat, matches for the gallery owner Ruth Benzacar,[9] dried meat for Lucian Freud,[4] burnt toast, stale bread and resin for Eva Perón, gold chains wrapped around nails for Diego Maradona and bullets and red resin for Che Guevara.

Non-portrait subjects include a U.S. dollar note created with 80,000 nails, silver thread and resin on black wood,[11] a lotus flower rendered in 300,000 hand-painted Chinese sticks and a depiction of childbirth as a mosaic of glass squares.
