Serlian Barreto: Carbon

& Lisandra Ramirez: Memories

Carbon, by SAerlian Barreto is a series composed of work produced over the last two years as a homage to his grandfather, who is a life-long producer and exporter of coal in Cuba. Barreto was born in Cuba and lives and works in the United States. He graduated from the San Alejandro Art Academy, Havana.

Memories, by Lisandra Ramirez, curated by guest curator Gabriela Azcuy, is a series based on the reconstruction of memories from the artist’s childhood, where objects are not recreated as they were, but rather as she remembers them, often as collages of amalgamated images.“

On View:

CHILL. Faces and Figures in Afro Caribbean Art

David Boxer, Eric Cadien, Juan Roberto Diago, Manuel Mendive, Edouard Duval Carrie, Bernard Sejourne, among others.

This is a celebration of the faces and bodies of the Caribbean. Selected works from PAAP collection of Afro-Caribbean works that celebrate the people of the region and bring to light the images of people and communities representing the complexity of Afro-Caribbean identity. These pieces cover a vast array of styles, from the hyper-realistic to the surreal from the regions of Cuba, Haiti, and Jamaica.

Sometimes they seem to be overlapping thoughts and abstractions, expressed with the return to the innermost quality of the pigments. Her interest in landscapes comes from her photographic capture, and continues through the pictorial representation, disrupting the experience of the receiver.
