TEXT

In recent years, Antonio Espinosa's work has maintained a sustained focus on the landscape, although he has reconfigured the topics and forms of approaching this artistic genre. While his earlier pieces reflected the bucolic countryside landscape with a wide range of grays, paying homage to great masters of painting such as Andrew Wyeth and Tomás Sánchez in technical and compositional handling, his latest creations are distinguished by a different approach to the landscape. Additionally, Antonio Espinosa also addresses other topics through drawing, aimed at reflecting on contemporary dynamics such as consumerism and alienation. His pieces depict portraits of medications and candies, drawing attention to the overuse of images as manipulation by modern society.

ARTISTS

Antonio Espinosa

(b. 1974, Manzanillo, Cuba) The artist Antonio Espinosa achieved a degree from the “Superior Institute of Art” (ISA), La Habana, in 1977. After his graduation, he has dedicated his life to his practice, working a rigorous schedule to achieve his extraordinary artworks. Antonio Espinosa is most known as a cartoonist and painter. The artist uses a mixture of photography and installation to create his meticulous seascapes. In his work, Espinosa explores and comments on the current socio-political and artistic dilemmas through the use of humour and irony. As part of this process, the artist first develops a series of drawings in order to review and perfect his ideas. Espinosa has exhibited in a series of individual and collective shows, from which the following stand-out: “Antonio Espinosa. Obra Reciente”, 2014, at La Suite Subastas Galería in Barcelona, Spain and “Conquista de los inútil” at the 12 Bienal de la Habana in 2015.
