LaCa Projects presents Beachcomber, the gallery’s third solo exhibition of internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Carlos Estévez. Beachcomber is a multimedia exhibition consisting of over fifty pieces of art in painting, found-objects assemblage and ceramics. In these works, Estévez builds worlds; allegories for the tension between our microcosms of imagination and our macrocosms of existence, as we try to suspend ourselves between the two to maintain our sanity. He draws from experiences as varied as his compositions: from Cuba, with later significant time in Paris, to the US. He bends these experiences through the conceptual lens of illuminated manuscripts, medieval texts and contemporary philosophy, what Estévez has described as “transcriptions and translations of my everyday observations into images.”
