Decadencia y Entropia Exposition in Trinidad, Cuba and Canada
Posted on January 05 2017
Cubanocanadian is very pleased to celebrate the successful opening in Trinidad, Cuba of "DECADENCIA Y ENTROPIÁ" , a shared exhibition of new works by Cuban artists Adonis Toledo Torres and Edras Francisco Rodriguez.
An international project between Cuba and Canada, the exhibition opened on December 26th, 2016 and will continue until January 26th, 2017. After this, the show will leave the island for a special presentation in Ottawa, Canada in the spring of 2017.
While Edras' work juxtaposes industrial atrophy and natural rebirth using meticulously hand cut materials on canvases painted in acrylic tones of rust and metalic neglect, the often monochromatic canvases of Adonis present an urban architecture that is undeniably in decay while still proudly surviving against the odds.
Opening remarks with (l.to r.) Cubanocanadian Director Leif Walther, Casa del Joven Creadore Director Michel Garcia Magariño, Edras Francis Rodriguez and Adonis Toledo Torres
Snacks and designer beverages ("Cubanocanadian Summer", "Cubanocanadian Winter" catered by Yurien Lopez Reyes
