Exhibition Overview
Green Machine features the latest work of one of Cuba's leading contemporary artists, Carlos Luna. In this exhibition, painting, sculpture and installation become one to portray Cuban stories and fables. While using culturally-specific imagery, Luna demonstrates all that we have in common. "Ever since the first people were around, our problems have been about ourselves, what we are doing, our existence… but people even from different backgrounds can relate to human problems." Luna brings his viewers into the darkness and returns them to the light, both physically and psychologically.
