About the Item
Rich, opulent purple seeps onto yellow -tinged, plant-like forms in Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rio's "berenjenas en el acuario / eggplants in the aquarium." Though its name relays a touch of absurdity and obscure humor, the composition itself is sensual and sophisticated.
This subtle tension is a deliberate gesture on the part of Ricardo Rios. He believes that art is not about providing answers. It welcomes entirely non-verbal ways of assessing, allowing us to rely on our senses vs. intellect. In this way, the viewer is invited to enter the paintings alongside Ricardo Rios – to be part of their energetic center rather than passive observers on their outskirts.

Ángel Ricardo Ricardo Ríos
Angel Ricardo Rios was born in Cuba in 1965 where he graduated from the Higher Institute of Art in Havana. Ricardo’s work has an eagerness to it, a blur of boundaries within the space that it occupies. The mixing and intertwining of subjects give way to explosions of color, texture, and shape, some of which are painted directly with his hands. To understand Ricardo’s work one must acknowledge two essential elements. The first is a playful, joyful, and intimate expression that has an intense, frenzied, sexual nature, and the second is a refusal to be confined by the edges of the canvas. Often it appears as if his compositions want to break free. Ricardo has exhibited individually since 1981 in multiple institutions including Chapo University Museum, Popular Art Museum in Mexico City, Galeria Luis Sandoval Contemporary Art in Mexico City, and Fernando Pradilla Gallery in Madrid. He has exhibited collectively in Zona Maco in Mexico City, Art Miami, and the Biennial of Havana in Cuba. Ricardo has received a number of awards and mentions including Honorable Mention in the fourth Biennial of Visual Arts Yucatan Mexico as well as multiple publications including Art Magazine Spain and Art Nexus.
