René Rodríguez’s works (painting and sculpture) are known for their versatility, dazzling with a palette of bold colors and intricate forms.
In this section you can have immediate access to the articles of CdeCuba Art Magazine, organized on the basis of the most recent publications. They are brief texts that are not restricted to a specific formula: you will be able to realize the diversity of approaches and the freedom our authors have to develop their writing profile. Above all, they seek to communicate quickly with the reader, who is offered a presentation of the aesthetic-conceptual proposal of each artist.
The group of writers is made up of critics and specialists who reside both inside and outside Cuba, of different ages and life experiences; emerging voices with new visions and others more established with a career in the criticism and study of Cuban Art.
The main objective gravitates on the need to offer a wide and varied panorama that enriches the debates around Contemporary Cuban Art, with different reflections and approaches to the poetics of each artist; made with equally diverse tools: we can find orientations with historical, philosophical, aesthetic, sociological, anthropological analysis, applied to understand the discursive lines of each creator.
René Rodríguez’s works (painting and sculpture) are known for their versatility, dazzling with a palette of bold colors and intricate forms. Only in this way can we freely access such intricate universes where everything in appearance is perfect. Enrique Baster’s abstraction is a formal rereading, an interpretation of a “contemporary realism”. For Carlos Montes de Oca, creation is an open window to an infinity of technical and discursive possibilities. Through the infantile and apparently puerile figure, Lisbet Fernández has wanted to get closer to the human soul. Arassay Hilario’s compositions are rare, they are different, there is a wisdom that comes from his work. Miguel Angel Salvo’s paintings are dissections of ways of painting, a large thematic collage full of references. Ofill Echevarría’s artistic work achieves a multidisciplinary dynamic of languages such as photography, video, and painting. Jesús Nodarse creates emotional landscapes that reflect the inner struggle and intrinsic beauty of the human condition, with poetic sensitivity and exceptional technical skill. Lazaro Garcia is the son of his time, his creations vindicate the postulates of postmodern painting. Pavel Alvarez’s paintings have an Art Brut content, exploring other styles linked to expressionism and surrealism. Octavio Irving is an artist with a work that includes painting, engraving, drawing, installation and photography. Through his technique and fearless approach, Abel López fuses diverse elements in his works, creating surprising compositions that defy traditional artistic conventions. In the works of Ernesto Rodríguez reappear as a historiography, representations of icons that refer to medieval art. The journey of Adam is the result of studies of religious anthropology, philosophy, symbolism of the Celtic peoples and cultures. The work of Ramón Falcón confirms not only the unbearable condition of private life, but also the current unbearableness of life. The distortions of forms are located in the work of Luis Alberto Saldaña between the limits of the abstract and the figurative. The work of Calé Suárez is based on the investigation of the surrounding environment, spirituality and human relations. Erniel Chacón is an artist who works in sculpture and installation, is based on the apparent poverty of the object. His aesthetic, autobiographical par excellence, the persistence of a genre, with vicissitudes and melodramas of his own. Its bubbles and crystal architectures are chronotopos in which the national daily epic is narrated in lowercase.Rene Rodriguez
