Exhibition The trip: gift for the Cuban capital of the renowned artist Martha Jimenez

Havana- With a marked assistance of public, Havana is currently hosting the personal exhibition of Martha Jimenez, entitled "The trip". The exposition will be open to the public from the 20th of this month until October 15, in the MANOS Gallery of the Cuban Association of Artisans Artists (ACAA).

"Not far from confabulations with the imaginary is the exhibition "The trip". A conceptual platform bearing a theory that has as its epicenter works full of creative magic and flight to the unreal. In this way, the proposal conspires with the aim of entering into a reasoning that predicts: each fantasy is a new reality”, said the curator, specialist and gallerist Yaniel Perez Guerra, in his words to the catalog.

"So the premeditated design does not represent a proper physical transfer, but a mental transportation by a metamorphosed truth and narrated through images. It is an invitation to interpret the doctrines of the author's magical realism, according to her various forms of expression”, added Perez Guerra.
