Maikel Martinez: Recent Work is now on view through April 25 at Rosenbaum Contemporary's Boca Raton, Fla. gallery (150 Yamato Road). The exhibition features new oil paintings by popular Cuban artist Maikel Martinez.
Martinez’s paintings combine his memories of places in Cuba and South Florida with his dreams and subconscious resulting in landscapes that appear both photorealistic and surreal at the same time. Though his works are often mistaken for photographs, he does not use any photographic references to create his paintings.
Martinez was born in Pinar del Río, Cuba. He received the Landscape Award at the 2000 Salon Nacional, sponsored by the National Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) and held in homage to Tiburcio Lorenzo, the Cuban painter recognized as the Cuban “Lord of the Landscape.” Martinez’s work has been exhibited in institutions and galleries in Europe, North and South America and the Caribbean including the Royal Bank of Canada and the Museo Provincial de Historia in Pinar del Rio, Cuba.
Maikel Martinez: Recent Work can be viewed during Rosenbaum Contemporary’s regular Boca Raton gallery hours, Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., as well as on its website www.rosenbaumcontemporary.com.
