The artist Gabriel Cisneros opened a solo exhibition last Friday in September at the Servando Gallery in Havana. The exhibition is entitled El Prestidigitador<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00abThe exhibition includes six figurative sculptures. It will remain at the gallery until 10 November,\u00bb the artist told Radio Enciclopedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00abIt is inspired by my long collaboration with Villa Sober\u00f3n in the creation of commissioned and commemorative statuary works. This exhibition uses traditional statuary as a visual support,\u00bb he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In essence, Cisneros is using the traditional codes of statuary, \u00abtwisting them, putting them in different positions to the way we are used to seeing this type of work; and, of course, from there the viewer will inevitably find some strangeness,\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00abThe discourse, the story behind each piece is articulated out of this strangeness. Each piece tells a story. Each piece tells a way of seeing reality. In traditional statuary, we are used to seeing the works perhaps on top of a more epic story, perhaps with virtue in a professional sense. But my exhibition is about more intimate, more personal stories, and perhaps that is where a distinction is made in terms of commemorative sculpture,\u00bb he concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gabriel Cisneros, Las Tunas, 1990, is a 2015 graduate of the University of the Arts of Cuba.
