Exhibition of the renowned plastic artist Jesús Vega Faura (Chucho), on the occasion of his 70th birthday

The gallery of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC), at its headquarters in Las Tunas, hosts an exhibition of the renowned plastic artist, Jesús Vega Faura (Chucho), on the occasion of his 70th birthday (October 7).

Las Tunas, Cuba Las Tunas, Cuba.- Entre razones y motivos (Among reasons and motifs) is the name of the exhibition of 13 pieces, mostly conceived to celebrate his seven decades of life; although it also includes some previously exhibited works, which are united in the style and seal that the author prints on his paintings.

The artist exhibits a compendium of his pictorial catalog, in which diverse formal and discursive attributes converge. Figurative, abstract, colorful, or sober, he presents these compositions, in which his classic characters and other debutants appear, using acrylic and oil, narrating stories coming from his own reality. The evident visual heterogeneity ratifies his versatility, mastery, and -at the same time- distinction.

This prolific creator, whose work not only includes visual arts but also pedagogy, is about to conquer half a century of uninterrupted career. His vast gallery, mural incursions into urban spaces, and the numerous promotions of graduates of the plastic arts in which he has left his mark attest to his comprehensive legacy to the development of arts and culture in Las Tunas.

This becomes an ideal occasion to celebrate everything: the positive, the anguish, the learning, the dedication, the sowing, and the harvest; in short, for so many reasons and motives that life has given him for seven decades… and many more to come.
