YOAN CAPOTE: Isla

9 Dec 2015-29 Jan 2016

Overview

Ben Brown Fine Arts is proud to present ISLA, Yoan Capote’s second solo exhibition with the London gallery. As the Cuban art scene continues to garner international attention, Capote has emerged as a pioneering figure in this rapidly expanding community of acclaimed artists. Capote explores a multiplicity of universal themes in his work, from the human condition to cultural identity, migration and politics. This exhibition focuses on Capote’s iconic ‘fishhook paintings’ and is comprised of twelve seascape paintings, conceived by the artist as an installation for the gallery space in which the vanishing points seemingly merge into one continuous horizon line, surrounding the viewer with their watery depths.
