Reynier Llanes: Reverie

An exhibition inspired by French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s comment on ‘reverie’ – “Reverie is not a mind vacuum. It is rather the gift of an hour which knows the plenitude of the soul”, a space where imagination and memory intertwine to reveal profound truths about the self and the world. The Cuban painter embodies that vision in this exhibition, curated by Celine Azem; “his canvases invite viewers into a dreamlike space where personal and collective histories merge … His work does not retreat from life’s struggles but reinterprets them, transforming them into compositions where emotions, memories, and aspirations coexist in harmony”.

Te exhibition introduces the latest works from Llanes’ The Poet series, bridging ancestral echoes with contemporary realities; The Poet is an ethereal, enigmatic figure drifting between memory and imagination, past and present, to become a vessel for the viewer’s own reflections. “The Poet is both wanderer and witness, a keeper of memory embodying the ever-shifting human condition.”

To 14 June.
