Carlos Quintana: Contemplation as a synthesis of Santería and Buddhism Contemplation as a synthesis of Santería and Buddhism The figures and portraits of Carlos Quintana (Havana, 1966) have in common a self-contained attitude: the distance, emotionless facial expressions and the barely comprehensible gaze, which characterize the figures of Carlos Quintana, testify to a kind of introversion or rather to contemplation. They are focused on something that seems to be outside of the visible or internally. The figures are often depicted against a contrasting colored background and without a concrete environment:…Read more …

In ‘Passion and Restraint’ I choose to present two young painters – Adislen Reyes Pino (Havana, 1984) and Lancelot Alonso Rodríguez (Havana, 1986) – who apply color in a very distinctive way: She, with soft, pastel tones, and he, with full intensity. The work of both revolves around eroticism. This com-mon focus is not unusual, since many artists from different generations have covered it with greater or lesser intensity; however, it allows me to introduce young creators who deal with a universal topic without turning it obscene and allowing all…Read more …

In his most recent exhibition in Zurich, Duvier del Dago explores the contentious and increasingly relevant issue of drone technology and its implications on society. Leveraging his unique artistic language of installations and drawings, Dago creates a compelling discourse on the ethical and moral complexities arising from the unregulated use of civilian drones. The exhibition features an intriguing blend of natural elements and war machinery, reflecting Dago's interest in the balance of control between technology and humanity. Moreover, Dago subtly infuses the theme of social networks into his work, providing…Read more …

As the title ‘EQUILIBRIO HUMANO’ suggests, the works of the Afro-Cuban Artist Eduardo Roca «Choco» (*1949, Santiago de Cuba) are characterised by their search for equilibrium of man with himself, nature, his spirituality, his ancestry independent of ethnicity. His work – whether painting, sculpture or print – is characterised by it corporeality which is formed by the motives as well as materiality. ArteMorfosis is the first Swiss gallery to display oil paintings, collagraphies and wood sculptures in Switzerland of the international renowned artist. Master of collagraphy like no other in Cuba, his…Read more …
