A través de la mirada de varios artistas contemporáneos, “Wandering Through Landscapes” invita a los visitantes a explorar la diversidad de los paisajes, tanto urbanos como rurales, ofreciendo una perspectiva distinta de nuestro cambiante entorno y con visiones contrastantes de los espacios que nos rodean.
Desde las ciudades de Gustavo Acosta, pasando por el paisaje incompleto de Adler Guerrier, las fotografías de Elisa Benedetti y Clara Toro que ven directamente a esas comunidades transformadas de la noche a la mañana por el ruido de las máquinas y nuevos desarrollos; hasta lo rural plasmado en los lienzos de Andrés Cabrera, las esculturas de Cesar Rey y la visión intima de lo urbano en la obra de Lotti, el público podrá disfrutar de una muestra única.
Cada uno de estos artistas aporta su perspectiva única al tema de los paisajes, creando obras que reflejan la riqueza de la naturaleza, la complejidad de lo urbano y las conexiones entre ambos, y por supuesto, un entorno cambiante, donde la obra deja constancia de lo que fue. La exposición promete una experiencia visual enriquecedora que estimulará la imaginación y fomentará la reflexión sobre nuestro entorno.
“Wandering Through Landscapes es un testimonio de la diversidad y la belleza que podemos encontrar en el mundo que nos rodea”, destaca Adriana Meneses, co-curadora del proyecto. “Cada pieza de arte nos invita a contemplar el paisaje desde una nueva perspectiva y a apreciar la riqueza de nuestra experiencia dentro del mismo”, puntualiza

Essential Work focuses on the isolating effects of the pandemic and its impact on workers. It shows the time spent focusing on nothing but work and survival, something no one was prepared to handle after the shut down. To accurately portray that feeling beyond the art itself, some pieces are featured separately. The stand-alone car parts represent the pieces of a whole that, for the time being, have been torn apart. Lotti’s observational paintings communicate not only the painstakingly long hours we’ve all dealt with during the pandemic, but the progression of detail as a result of the eventual new day-to-day routine. In this exhibition, we hope to retell the
story you’ve all experienced--from the eyes of an essential worker.

Observe Lotti’s radiography of the “efichensi” (a vernacular pronunciation of efficiency), that affordable living space that has become the door to the American dream for many immigrants and crucial to understanding the sociology of Cuban-American immigration; or Miguel Saludes’ pixilation and augmentation of reality, enlarging the American landscape, from a field of flowers to a concrete wall, scrutinizing the surrounding, processing its dualities to the limits of abstraction until digested into a totally new identity; or Labañino’s contractile reality that merges different points of view into the same plane, allowing blurred memories and details to coexist in the same space. These three artists are crossed by their hyphenated identities, Cuban-Americans belonging and bonding like most of us, challenging traditional painting to express their personal journey into a new ecosystem, a journey that we are from now on thankful they shared with us.

On the other hand, Cuban-born Lotti- who came to the U.S. at age 11- is exhibiting a series of monotypes, one-of-a-kind images that employ print-making techniques.Some of these monochromatic works use the painter’s palette as a plate; they all contrast the black ink with the paper to combine myths, sexual archetypes, and child-like dream images in surprising ways.

Lotti’s impressive series of monoprints, many using a large painter’s palette as a plate, bring us into the an arena of the unconscious where symbols do battle with they’re alleged meanings. The locomotive, the sea, the moon, even the figure are made to confront the greater force of what they mean. It is a rebellion of signifieds against the signifiers. Eros, anger, annihilation, despair are loosened upon the visual icons and dreamt codes that evoked them for millennia, but no more.
