Checkmate

YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS
"CHECKMATE"
OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED
CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2017
53.25 X 41.5 INCHES
"Checkmate" is that great end-finale, that surprised everyone because you basically were playing or getting ready for a totally different game.
An unexpected move from the governments who always have a "card up their sleeve" to screw you.
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.

CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2000
31.5 X 39.5 INCHES
Silly Topic for Two Lovers is exactly what you can appreciate in the painting,
by the time every young couple was using the bicycle as a way of transportation in Havana,
I saw that silly imagery as an excuse to talk about love.

YURI MARTINEZ RAMOS
"SYMPHONY IN D-MINOR"
OIL ON CANVAS, SIGNED, TITLED
CUBAN-AMERICAN, DATED 2005
40 X 30 INCHES
Symphony in D Minor is the "music" Cuban people have to perform every day to survive a decadent system that has pushed people to the limit.
A prostitute looking for living on the street, a musician playing for no tourist,
a rounded stage that depicts the enclosing system from where you cannot escape,
vigilant red birds are the government-symbol watching everywhere, controlling your miserable life.
-D- minor instead of a chord is Destruction, Deplorable.

Tramp (pet dog, beagle, troubadour guitare, animal portrait, surrealist painting
By Rudolf Kosow
Located in Quebec, Quebec
"Tramp," by Rudolf Kosow, is a whimsical painting that delights in its surreal juxtaposition of scale and serenity. At the center is a beagle's face, depicted with lifelike detail and expressiveness, eyes glistening with a calm intelligence that beckons the viewer into a state of contemplation.
Positioned against the backdrop of the dog's vast visage, a small, solitary figure strums a guitar. The musician, dressed in casual attire, appears as a wandering troubadour, his music resonating with the quietude of the scene. This miniature man, though diminutive in size, plays a significant role in the narrative, providing a sense of companionship and shared experience.
The painting's title, "Tramp," suggests a free spirit, both in the itinerant musician and the beagle, known for its adventurous and exploratory nature. Kosow's piece is an ode to the wandering souls and the moments of unexpected harmony they encounter.
Through "Tramp," we are reminded of the melodies that score our journeys and the silent kinship we find along the way. It is an invitation to embrace the music of life, to find connection in the tranquility of existence, and to acknowledge the symphonies that unfold in the presence of kindred spirits, regardless of their size or form.
