Yoan Capote: Requiem

Requiem is the gallery fourth solo exhibition of the Cuban artist Yoan Capote.

The gallery space hosts large scale seascape paintings, immersing the viewer from the perspective of being surrounded by sea, on an island similar to Capote’s Cuba.

The artist uses golden leaf to evoke at once transcendental meditations on the sublime beauty of the wild seas and classical artistic traditions of centuries past but the canvases are also a metaphor for the migrant crises around the world.
