Sheila Diaz Garcia pictures the essentials of the human face abstracting from the complex to create intense images that are misleading in their apparent simplicity. Her deft outlines and fearless use of primary colors in her crypto-portraits is repeated in her abstract works where the liner is combined with painterly bravado in the subtle depiction of body parts.
Cuban art today is as varied as that produced in any developed country. With a rich history ofmodernism from the era of the Vanguardia artists in the 1920's to the current era of freedom ofexpression in a rapidly evolving state, contemporary Cuban art reflects the diverse culture and unique conditions of this fascinating Caribbean country.
Cuban painting, whether abstract, figurative or landscape, is marked by brilliant use of color.
Distinctive color is coupled with equally distinctive form. These characteristics set Cuban art apart and make it universally appealing to the eye.
A restless lens explores a city's narrow streets. Fancy shapes, old buildings, and friendly people offer enthusiastic photographer Richard Wiebe the warmest of welcomes, tempting him to stay forever in Cuba.
One capture here, another there... Local people can read the elation in his eyes...
And there he goes!
It is very difficult to be unemotional about
Central Havana, a bustling overcrowded district that thrills the senses, befuddles the mind, and tugs at the heart.
For he who has become just one more in the crowd, it is a magical place, full of interesting images:
conga drums pounding late into the night;
spicy roast pork and sweet dark rum;
baseball, ballet and dazzling clubs;
quick conversations spiked with sexual innuendo
and wicked humor;
people who are warm,
expressive and affectionate;
music emanating from every window - all
enveloped within the aroma of the hand-rolled cigars.
Every little detail comes into his camera
and then straight to the viewer's heart,
flooding with feelings and colors.
