YOAN CAPOTE: SEE ESCAPES
Curated by Joachim Pissarro 24 May - 26 Jul 2024 London Ben Brown Fine Arts is delighted to present SEE ESCAPES, an exhibition of new works by Cuban artist Yoan Capote, curated by esteemed art historian Joachim Pissarro. SEE ESCAPES is deeply rooted in the context of Capote’s upbringing in Cuba, an island marked by profound historical and geographical circumstances. Influenced by the tumultuous legacy of the Cold War era and the pervasive uncertainty about the future, his work reflects the societal tensions and ideological confrontations of his surroundings. Capote draws inspiration from myriad art historical movements, from the awe-inspiring landscapes and seascapes of Romantic painters Caspar David Friedrich, John Constable, and J.M.W Turner, to the rough materiality of the Arte Povera movement. Through his work, Capote offers a reflection of society's complexities and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Read more -
