Cuba Art NY announces the opening of the exhibition Contemporary Cuban Art in New York at the Dactyl Foundation Gallery, 64 Grand Street, New York, which will be on display from October 8 to October 10, 2009.
The event highlights the refinement and creativity of some of the most noteworthy Cuban artists. It features painting, sculpture, photography and mixed media from both well-established and fast-emerging artists who approach art in very distinctive ways.
Artists Lilliam Cuenca and Carmen Herrera create their own new realities through abstract works. The former with an expressionistic, very loose gestual process and the latter with her intelligent geometric style that is now, for many, “the discovery of the decade” as Laura Cummings recently noted in “The Observer.”
Symbols through psychological portraits are in the hands of Giovanni Bosch (Danae II). Philosophical images referring to the passing of time and the complex system of human communication is what Carlos Estévez articulates in “Los movimientos cifrados de la existencia,” while Heriberto Mora in “Una dosis de amor y un baño de luz” tells us about the interaction between human beings and their environment, inviting us to journey in search of spiritual values. Arturo Rodríguez, on the other hand, uses the human figure to recreate an aesthetic expression through composition, color and drawing with no intention of political, philosophical or religious discourse (Nude is a great little masterpiece).
Other artists with very unique propositions are Arnaldo Simón commenting in his recent pieces about the war, the instruments of power and the national identities in military campaigns. Gilberto Ruiz uses images that fight for prominence and appeal to the viewer to complete them, and Rafael López Ramos, who recently moved to Miami, has developed an inquiring research on the city and its relationship between human nature and the machine. Angel Delgado’s digital prints on canvas and handkerchiefs are a discourse about freedom and the lack thereof.
Mario García Joya’s photos are poetic documents of daily life and Armando Guiller’s sculptures bring us a mechanical world that is both ingenious and beautiful.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity for collectors and art lovers to view and purchase important art at compelling benefit prices. The majority of the pieces are exhibited for the first time in New York. Additional works and a most ‘affordable’ selection of drawings and other pieces will also be available.
This event is organized by Cuba Art NY a 501 (c) (3) non-for profit organization to benefit its programs and fund the CANY scholarship fund.

Felicitaciones Rafael, como están de activos esos pinceles. Que sigan así... y muchos exitos!
F.R.
Gracias FR, así sea!
Congrats Rafa! Great selection.
Wish you all the deserved success.
Abrazos
cono mi hermano, buena noticia, muchas felicidades! Debo decir que me encanta la primera pieza "Air conditioner". Ojala caiga en buenas manos.
un abrazo,
Gerardo
Thank you so much Alfa, for wishing a greatly needed stuff. Abrazos
Gracias Gerardo, esa fue realmente la primera de la serie y a mucha gente le gusta también, incluyendo Jesús Rosado que la escogió para su curaduría de Ciudad Metáfora en el CCE. Otro abrazo pa tí.
MUchas felicidades Rafael.
Coincido plenamente con Gerardo: el primer lienzo me parece el mas notable. Seguramente caera en buenas manos. Que la participacion en la subasta traiga otras nuevas oportunidades para exhibir. A ver si te das otro paseito por Broadway, hombre.
Gracias Ernesto, ojalá sea como dices y pueda darme ese paseíto por Broadway y volver a ver "las luces".
Un abrazo
Mucha suerte, tratare de asistir creo que estoy en esos dias por alla.
Randal Fernandez
Hola Rafael, estoy un tanto triste y enojado muchos critican a Polanski, dura la vida, dura.
Randal Fernandez
Sr Fernandez, si está por allá tomese fotos con mis obras y pase algunas para disfrute del personal. No le pido que apueste por mi obra, pues ya sería demasiado.
Estimado RLR no entendi muy bien su frase pero la asumo como amistosa, suerte con lo expuesto....
VIVA POLANSKI
Rafa felicidades por estar dentro de los escogidos. Reconoci un par de piezas tuyas en los poster que se han publicado en la red. Me parece que esa seleccion de obras y de artistas plasticos es excelente y que la subasta sera un exito seguro. Mucha suerte. Marie S.
Viva Polanski, puede estar seguro que mi frase es amistosa. Gracias por los buenos deseos.
Marie S., todo el mérito es de Jorge Moya y su equipo. Gracias!
