Limited Edition Series Photograph. Black and White Photography by Cuban Photographer René Peña, Self Portrait René Peña (Rene de Jesus Pena Gonzalez) is a self-taught photographer born in Havana, Cuba in 1957. His photography is characterized by stark contrasts, between black and white, subject and background, subject and object. His work often focuses on the duality between human inability to escape institutionalization and human desire for individualism. His interest in contrast is also reflected in his place of residence: Peña currently inhabits the Cerro neighborhood of Cuba which is home to a mostly poor African-Caribbean population, despite having been an enclave of Havana's richest families in the 19th century. René Peña graduated from the Higher pedagogic Institute of Foreign Languages, University of Havana with a specialization in English in 1983. In the late 1980s he entered the national world of photography and since 1990 became leader of the new trends of Cuban photography, first by handling interiors and domestic situations in modern-day Cuba and later making studies of his own body in aspects such as negritude, sexual ambiguity and the influence of consumerism through self-portraits. He conceives his series on the basis of a conceptual, formal and structurally different analysis of all the parameters established up to the present, going from a brutal expressionism to a distinct homoeroticism, with strong mystic elements, trends from experimental painting, and a certain theatrical dramatization. He has had important solo shows and participated in group exhibitions in Cuba, the United States, Venezuela, Canada, France and Germany. His work is part of important collections, not only national but also at world level, such as the National Museum of Fine Arts, Cuba; the Ludwig Foundation of Cuba; Reinhard Schultz Collection, Germany; photographic archive Tuscany, Italy; Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona, USA; Houston Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas, USA; collection of the province of Hainuat, Belgium; and Lehigh University Pennsylvania...

Alberto Arcos (Cuba, 1956) 'Untitled', 2004 Photography, inkjet on paper P/A (Artist Proof) 27.7 x 19.7 in. (70.2 x 50 cm.) ID: ARC-302 Unframed

Photographie tirée de l'ouvrage Habana Song (2019, éditions LOCO), prise lors d'un des nombreux voyages de l'artiste à Cuba. "Cuba n’est pas qu’une île. C’est un symbole politique. C’est aussi une part de notre imaginaire collectif. J’étais allé à Cuba à la fin des années 1990, au moment où les "Balseros" sur leurs radeaux de fortune essayaient d’atteindre Key West, en Floride, juste en face… Vingt ans plus tard, je reviens à La Havane, juste après la mort de Fidel Castro. La ville est en pleine mutation. Je suis hypnotisé par la superbe mélancolie de ce monde figé. Je sens vivre et vibrer un pays unique et cabossé, fier et contestataire, endormi et flamboyant. Les coins de rue photographiés par Walker Evans en 1933 sont toujours là, presque identiques. La puissance de la photographie m’éclabousse dans ce rapport intime à l’histoire, aux lieux et au temps qui passe. Ou qui ne passe pas… " Tiré par l'auteur lui-même par impression jet d'encre Fine art, ce tirage comporte de superbes nuances de noir, dans un ton légèrement chaud, avec un aspect de surface lustré. Tirage seul en format 30x40cm, signé au dos en bas à droite, excellent état. Il peut aussi être récupéré directement à la galerie, à Paris...
