Lescay paints his grandfather

In the exhibition Viaje perpetuo curated by Alejandro Lescay, singular evocations of José Martí, Mariana Grajales, Antonio Maceo, the mambí grandfather and love in the wilds emerge: Fidel facing the abyss of our time and in the active rest of the warrior, Ernesto Che Guevara and his deep inquiring gaze, Frank País in the memory of his actions, Lieutenant Pedro Sarría Tartabull – the savior of Fidel - Raúl's knowing and cheerful laugh at the sketch of the sculptural ensemble dedicated to his beloved brother, the leader of the Revolution, conceived to be located in the foothills of the Sierra Maestra: a trail of glory, a steed that rises over its hind legs on the ground and touches the firmament.

In short, here is an artist from Santiago de Cuba: universal, full of many lives and committed, honest and loyal to the destiny of his homeland - because Lescay is so and does not need to proclaim it or try to just look like it - meditating, yearning for the future as someone who glimpses the past and champions and assumes it as a foundation and root.
