In a new joint exhibition, SIGNS OF VIDA, Latin American artists Luis Bello (Mexico) and Mauricio Vega (Cuba) explore how risk and experimentation are evidence of life.
Prints and pages from Vega’s independent underground fanzine, Supervivo, printed in Cuba between 2008 – 2020, are juxtaposed against Bello’s large-scale abstract works built from layers of symbols, color, and emotional rhythm. Themes of transformation, experimentation, chaos, and memory play out in Bello’s Basquiat and Twombly-inspired oil pastels, which act as both a door and a mirror for Supervivo Collective’s imaginative and often pointed takes on the day-to-day of Cuban life.
“When you are not conforming, when you are experimenting, when you are appealing to the ‘other’ and when you are kind of risky, that’s a sign that you are alive, a sign of Vida“ – Mauricio Vega.
