About the Item
YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS
"PATCHES"
OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED
CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2012
40 X 30 INCHES
Patches symbolize the destruction and erosion of Cuba.
A ruined country stitched together by patches that blend the society like an old rag pant.
The main buffoonery image depicts the old system, no more speech to play when you only have a broken instrument.
Yuri Martinez Ramos was born in Havana, Cuba on November 24, 1964.
He studied at the Elemental School of Plastic Arts from 1975 – 1979 and the National School of the Arts from 1979 – 1983.
Martinez’ figurative paintings have been compared to Botero because of his satirical social commentary. His style, however, is uniquely his own with typically vibrant Latin colors and use of expressive magical realism. His paintings tell his story and the story of the Cuban dilemma.
Martinez was granted permission by the US Justice Department after much effort with Cuban authorities to come to the US with his family and pursue his career outside Cuba. He now lives and works in Texas.
Papillon Gallery had three successful one-man exhibitions for him in the gallery in Los Angeles, many collectors and celebrities purchased his paintings.
Martinez’ works are in collections in Germany, Puerto Rico, Chile, Mexico, Panama, and the United States: Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Miami, Chicago, and San Francisco.
He has displayed at the Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, CA.
