Sello de Familia,Cuban artist Angel Ramirez’s personal exhibition is going to be opened on Friday at Olimpo Cultural Center, Merida, Yucatan.
The family, the society and the individual are topics usually tackled on his creation.In this artworks selection, there is a sort of vertical and horizontal incision in the characters that appear in any of these stratums. Ramirez puts together the collection of pictures that give name to the project out of fragments of xylographic images,in which he paints and brings different characters to life, though with common features. The marked singularity of each of them challenges us to remember that human beings are unique, unrepeatable and own their future. Angel talks about the individual’s dimension, without forgetting that each personal history makes up the sociocultural framework of a nation.
To sum it all up, this proposal stands for the defense of personal identity against the collective, and bets on a fair and necessary balance.
