Yusber Quian – EIGENGRAU

  • dates October 4, 2024
  • venue Online exclusive
Quián's work takes creative liberties in its exploration of the color grey, a concept that underpins the Eigengrau project. The term "Eigen" translates to "proper," while "grau" means grey. It refers to the dark shade perceived by most people when they close their eyes. In Yusber's own words, it is the first color we see at the beginning of life, and it will also be the last. This is the true hue of darkness, accompanied by fleeting flashes—a hallucination of the human mind, particularly in its desire to imagine in the face…Read more …
Frank David Valdés – Poems on paper

Frank David Valdés – Poems on paper

  • dates September 27, 2024
  • venue Online exclusive
The work of Frank David Valdés (Matanzas, 1988) stands as a visual narrative of the human and, why not, of its own creator. The anecdotal character prevails in them, perhaps already as a constant. This, together with a wide and lively color palette, make up his particular poetics. The canvases, and in this case cardboards, of this Cuban artist echo an impetuosity in the act of creation, as if it were an exorcism of passions. “To contemplate the work of Frank David Valdés Hernández, to analyze it, to understand it,…Read more …

Dayron Gallardo – Far Horizons

  • dates September 6, 2024
  • venue Online exclusive
The proposal of Cuban artist Dayron Gallardo (Havana, 1986) seems to inhabit dreamlike worlds. His paintings are permeated by a mystical breath. However, the artist does not throw himself into the confines of imagination in his ideo-aesthetic approaches; from them he seeks, in a sort of metaphysical exercise, the essences of our sensitive universe. With “Far Horizons” he delves into the substances of nature, in those horizons parallel to our life that pass in silent existence. Hence, the organic acquires in the works that make up this series an almost…Read more …

Based on an investigative process on racial issues and after consulting various sources, I present a black pigment made from human hair, symbolizing the human species as one, with its diversifications extending beyond the concept of race. Listen carefully to this: Did you know that humans are 99.9% genetically identical? Only a tiny fraction defines traits like eye color and predisposition to certain diseases. Since the mid-20th century, various scientific fields such as biology, genetics, and anthropology have confirmed that “human races” do not exist. Yet, the word race is…Read more …
Rafael Aguilera Herrera – Colour Achromatic

Rafael Aguilera Herrera – Colour Achromatic

  • dates August 30, 2024
  • venue Online Exclusive
Rafael Aguilera Herrera (RaH) proposes in his work a symbiosis between painting and photography, using the human body as the center of representation and support. The codes of each medium blur and enrich in RaH's creations, who, through the photographic negative, gives the ephemeral nature of body paint another layer of concepts and artistic meanings. His pieces evoke an atmosphere as magical as the themes and motifs they reference, while still conveying reflections on art itself, spirituality, roots, and the existence of the human being. In a recent exhibition, titled…Read more …
