Aquiles has obsessively favoured scrap material from the bodywork of old cars or containers of the most varied types to make small walking human figures, or perfectly flattened squares grouped according to an impeccable arrangement. He has not abandoned canvas, however, using a combination of techniques to produce an abstract work where graffiti connotes the emotional impact in the direction that the artist is interested in.
Lázaro Saavedra
1964
A member of the Grupo Puré and part of the Pilón community project, representative of the 80s iconoclastic art, he favours the use of pop culture, kitsch elements, resources from conceptual and neo-expressionist poetic art, and, above all, a corrosive humour to put into question authorities and truths held immovable, as well as barriers to individuality in today's society. His work is considered one of the most audacious and original in Cuban art in recent years.
Los Carpinteros
Dagoberto Rodríguez Sánchez (1969)
Marco Antonio Castillo Valdés(1971)
Identified with trades as old as carpentry and plumbing, seeking to exhaust the visual and communicative potentials of an object, going from detailed virtuosity to an almost minimalist economy, conferring on the sketch a significance that makes it independent of the finished work, that may have not even materialized, this team studies how an object is made and the multiple artistic, communicative or transgressive possibilities that the artist may confer on it.
Luis Enrique Camejo
1971
While indebted to Post-Impressionism, he seeks to be a representative of his time, highly charged with dispersion and fragmentation. Faithful to painting, he has pretty much dealt with landscapes where he displays a singular conception of space, of the appraisal of form and the potentials of abstraction. His endeavour to delve into art from art itself gives his work a self-referentiality.
