Working small, they fruitfully extended the geometric vocabularies of Constructivism, Mondrian and late Kandinsky with local colors and repurposed materials. #concretecuba #davidzwirner #contemporaryart #chelseagalleries #nycart #cubanart #abstractart #exhibition #arthistory #nycarts

Exhibition Review - Pedro de Oraá, Loló Soldevilla, Mario Carreño, Sandú Darié, Luis Martínez Pedro, Alberto Menocal, José Mijares, Rafael Soriano, Pedro Álvarez, Wifredo Arcay, Jose Angel Rosabal: 'Concrete Cuba' David Zwirner, London till Oct 3rd 2015.
I saw paintings of 11 artists,
paintings of boundaries and fracture,
during a time of conflict and censure,
painted with such clarity, and wonder,
of an alternate vision,
of Cuba, a nation,
to outlast all struggle, all dominion. - Drenched Co
Comment: " Perhaps it was a trope of that time to paint these colorful geometrics but I want to see the romance behind these painted shards and dislocated boundaries."- FaSa
Key: The artists wanted abstraction to be more than purely visual, formal concerns. They wanted to engage the collective conscience of Cuba.
