Culture may have taken a hit but it is resilient and resisting!
Despite health restrictions, the lack of convivial exhibition openings, and all sorts of other constraints, Galerie Orbis Pictus is pursuing its exhibition programme with optimism and is very pleased to be opening an exhibition on the theme of freedom, the freedom of the line.

Through the works of five Cuban artists of different generations, Agustín Cárdenas (1927 – 2001), Solano Cárdenas (1964 -), Jesse A. Fernández (1925 – 1986), Joaquín Ferrer (1929 -), Luis Israel González Sosa (1971 – ), we invite you to discover and explore the exacting line, the line that takes flight, the curving line, the infinite line and the balancing line.
This subjective exercise was undertaken with the complicity of writer Zoé Valdés, who contributed the foreword to the catalogue. Visitors will encounter a selection of works from a wide range of techniques: bronze, collage, drawing, ink, charcoal, gouache, engraving, gouache, marble, painting, and sculpture – private rituals of completely free and sovereign creation.
These personal or converging points of view echo the gallery’s continuing ambition to break down the boundaries between modern and contemporary art.
