Ramón Alejandro: Elogio de los sentidos / L’éloge des sens. / In praise of the senses. The Eightieth Anniversary Celebration. February 24 - March 24, 2023.
Latin Art Core is pleased to present an homage exhibition of Ramón Alejandro (Havana, 1943) on the occasion of his 80th birthday. The exhibition will feature historical works that cover his oeuvre alongside some of his recent creations.
Ramón Alejandro started painting in the late sixties after leaving Cuba, his country of birth. He developed almost his entire career in Europe while living in Paris. Over the years, his particular approach to painting had been identified as neo-surrealist; however, he does not seeing himself intentionally following any specific artistic canon. This exhibition sheds light on the evolution of his work building upon key motifs of his pictorial interests. Within his painting, Ramón Alejandro constructs personal and social narratives while challenging preconceived ideas of the erotic and the religious.
The exhibition opening will take place on February 24 from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM at the Miami galley location. This will be the fourth exhibition of Ramón Alejandro with the gallery, and he will be present.
At the occasion, a catalogue will be presented with text by independent New York-based art historian Rafael DiazCasas. The catalogue’s essay is an analysis of how Alejandro’s oeuvre developed and how, since early on in his career, he has received significant attention from 20th-century relevant writers and thinkers like Roland Barthes.

Curated by Janet Batet, Rafael DiazCasas and Jose Angel Vincench, the exhibition The Silent Shout is a rendition of Pinturas del Silencio, the historical exhibit done within the framework of the VI Havana Biennale in 1997 that explore Cuban Abstraction. It is not a survey exhibition, but rather a curatorial vision taking Pinturas del Silencio as its departure, a continuation of the themes, attitudes and ideas explored in that landmark show. Since the 1950s, abstraction has been viewed by Cuban-born artists as an artistic form and movement closely associated with ideals of social engagement. This exhibition is the first show since Pinturas del Silencio to explore those ideals through works taken from a range some of the most significant Cuban abstract artists of the past 60 years. It is the first historical exhibition outside Cuba that includes a variety of Cuban artists of different generations working in abstraction.
