De Otra Epoca (Of Another Era)
Darwin E. Martinez, Dairan Fernandez + Rudy Rubio
June 24 - July 5, 2021
Galeria Cubana is pleased to introduce De Otra Epoca (Of Another Era). This exhibition features paintings and prints by three artists whose work explores themes of memory and time, lending commentary on a place where things often stand still in an otherwise changing world.
Darwin Estacio Martinez is a painter whose style is unique in its snapshot quality. He invites the viewer to interpret the action in the scene by focusing on a fragmented frame, highlighted by his bold use of color and his distinctive lines. One is left to wonder what is transpiring with his mysterious subjects.
Dairan Fernandez de la Fuente is both a painter and printmaker whose family history has long been an inspiration.The richness in the texture and color of his works is achieved through his woodcut process, as well as his own interpretation of Art Deco motifs and themes.
Rubio Rudy is a painter and sculptor from Trinidad, Cuba. His works embody cultural markers of Cuban history. Overlapping in much of his paintings are imagery of old colonial walls, urban graffiti, tobacco stamps, advertising images from the 50's and slogans and heroes of the Cuban Revolution.
