ABOUT ABEL BARROSO

Barroso is part of a generation of artists who aesthetically renovated Cuban printmaking in the early 90's, transforming the traditional woodcut technique into three-dimensional objects. "Engraving is considered a conservative genre but since I started to build I decided to do something different with the technique, use its language, develop it in the way that interested me, finding new variations... I wanted to revolutionize its basis by, for example, making three-dimensional prints."

His work is exhibited in Art Brussels, ArcoMadrid, Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, Art Miami, and Art Lima. In 2017 he was one of the main members of the Pavilion of Cuba, at the 57th Venice Biennial curated by José Manuel Noceda Fernández.

He graduated from the Instituto Superior de Arte de la Habana in 1995 and studied at the Banff Center for the Arts in Alberta, Canada, and at the University of South Florida.

Abel Barroso's work is frequently exhibited in the United States, Latin America, Japan and Europe and is featured in prestigious collections that include the MoMA (USA), Whitney Museum (USA), Bacardi Foundation (USA), National Museum of Fine Arts (Cuba), Wifredo Lam Contemporary Art Center (Cuba), Minneapolis Art Museum editions 55 and 57 of the Venice Biennale, Banff Center for the Arts (Canada) and Federal Reserve Collection (USA), among others.
