ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries is presenting a solo exhibition featuring the paintings and installations of Humberto Castro. “Traces of Migrations” opened with a reception for the artist on August 6.
Castro’s new paintings continue his exploration of visual metaphors and fables based on the concept of historical immigration as the foundation for today’s society. Many of his pieces address the experience of Cuban exiles. In one installation, a tower of suitcases reflects constant unease and endless transitions. In Blessing of the Waters, a woman stands with one leg in a bathtub, suggesting the “wet foot, dry foot” policy adopted in 1995 that allows Cubans who reach U.S. soil to remain while those intercepted at sea are returned to Cuba.
Another painting, Transformers, shows the outstretched arms of two muscular figures encased in the flimsy hulls of boats, a reference to the risky makeshift vessels used by the balseros, on a four-foot canvas. Similar in size and content, Walking in the Depths shows an androgynous figure holding an hull across its shoulders.
Castro, born in 1967, is a member of the renowned 1980s generation of Cuban artists that includes José Bedia and Tomás Sánchez. He has been exhibiting since 1978, participating in numerous juried and invitational exhibitions as well as solo shows throughout Europe, South America, and the United States
“Traces of Migrations” continues his interpretations of the trauma experienced by many Cuban exiles that began in Humberto Castro’s two previous exhibitions at ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries, “First 15-Year Retrospective” and “Contemporary Fables.” The exhibition highlights the importance of continuing and advancing artistic interpretations of historical and thematic exodus.
