Rigoberto Gonzalez isn't a violent man. But he paints violent scenes: cartel members brutally beating Mexican citizens, ripping babies from their mothers, and even beheading men. Rigoberto paints the violence along the border. He believes that art can be a strong social commentary about conflict. Where else do we see opposition art? And what does opposition art - like Picasso's Guernica or the graffiti on the Berlin Wall - say about creativity that emerges from violence and oppression?
