Francisco Nuez paints abstract portraits. Powerful faces furtively emerge beneath strong slashes of vibrant paint against starkly composed canvases. The abstract and the figurative are blended with a sort of minimalism where the drawing plays a more leading role while there is less importance for the identity of the portrayed. Yet the faces are still powerful, full of energy and depth. Jairo Alfonso balances objects and curios in tippy stacks in his coffee and ink drawings. They animated into his video installation, a collective montage of small monuments dedicated to his Cuban experience. Dalvis Tuya's works involve taking a step back to see the full picture emerge, and a step forward to see the tiny, repeated patterns of smaller images that form the whole. The full effect of their works together comprises small peeks into the larger experience and challenges of being nurtured in this legendarily esoteric nation. div.
