Press Release
Adrian Socorro, one of the most prominent emerging artists in the island of Cuba, is showing his most recent works in an exclusive online show with Wiley Galleries. This show, "Dogs" encompasses one of his most recurrent topics, the empathy from these amazing companions towards us, humans as well as how they are seen from the scope of the Cuban culture.
His technique, mainly defined by a somewhat carefree combination of brushstrokes and a profuse use of tropical colors, shows a balanced relationship between structural chaos and order.With this series, Mr. Socorro intends to convey specific views of the daily life of humans and their pet dogs, especially those moments that evidence the mutual affection and natural empathy between both.
Mr. Socorro works and lives in the city of Matanzas, just over 60 miles from Havana. From his studio, ingeniously called "El garabato" (The scribble), he sees and understands the world only to promptly translate it into his artistic language for himself and for the world to see.
