Nelson Villalobos’ exhibition opens in Cuba

Eureka, an exhibition by renowned Cuban painter Nelson Villalobos, opens on Thursday as an inclusive project conceived as a party of colors and shapes.
 
The La Acacia Gallery, located in a densely populated Centro Havana neighborhood, is hosting the exhibit. Its roots lie in previous exhibitions of the artist held in Cuba and Spain over the last eight years.

The collection is presented as a visual discourse, highlighting the value of the epistolary and the photographic image as conducting elements of the artistic narrative.

Photos, letters’ fragments, and large-format paintings on canvas, interact in the first block, as a tribute to his mother, who was essential in the painter’s training, La Jiribilla magazine informed on its website.

Born in Cumanayagua, a town in central Cienfuegos province, on December 11, 1956, Nelson Villalobos stands out as one of the internationally most significant contemporary Cuban painters.
