Cuba in my Eyes
Solo Exhibition by Eduin Fraga
Thursday, December 3 THROUGH Sunday, December 27
This exhibition‘s images reflect the daily life of the average Cuban in both rural and urban spaces, according to the artist's experiences as a Cuban born in Havana. A pervasive theme is the normalcy of struggle for basic needs, access to transportation, getting food, water shortages, and many more mundane yet critical issues. Each of the works in the exhibition represent a scene recognizable to the average Cuban person.

Eduin Fraga was born in Havana, Cuba in 1974. He began painting over twenty years ago, blending newspaper collage and paint on canvas in order to capture dynamic fragments of society within the piece. Fraga considers his technique of painting and newspaper collage to be a unique mechanism through which to add complexity and richness to the work while simultaneously transforming it into a form of historical register of social experience. Fraga formally studied at the Experimental Center of Visual Arts in Havana. He has been invited to present his work in galleries and universities within the US and in Cuba. Fraga currently divides his time between Cuba and the United States.
