Alejandro Lloret

Art Brokerage: Alejandro Lloret Cuban Artist: b. 1957. Born in Yaguajay province of Sancti Spiritus, Cuba, in 1957, Alejandro grew up in a bucolic environment. His memories of his motherland have fused seamlessly with sights of the exuberant landscapes of Brazil, his home in exile for over 27 years. Along with the rich cultural, social, artistic, and linguistic influences that have surrounded him since childhood, these memories are the palette through which he expresses his profound critique of humanity's obsessive drive to complete itself by over-exploiting and degrading the earth. Alejandro experimented with different techniques and aesthetics before he embraced neo-hyperrealism in his well-known ‘Thinking Natures' collection. In ‘Voices of an Absence', a collection which expresses the same critique of humankind's degradation of the environment, he uses metaphors (for ex. The superimpositions of humanoid silhouettes and spirals of DNA) to show the clash between destructive civilization and nature's pre-eminence. The collection culminates in pure abstract forms whose colorful, exuberant, and chaotic compositions speak to the absence of balance in the vital but troubled relationship between human being and nature.
