PATRICK CARSON CUBAN WOMEN BEHIND THE FACADE June 10 – July 3, 2016.
After recovering from a serious car accident, he returned to university to study Fine Art in 1995. He graduated with a BFA from Kelowna UBC in 2000, and began a continuing project of travelling and painting portraits in Korea, Japan, Thailand, Burma, and most extensively in Cuba. His process of hiring “agents” to find temporary studio spaces and to secure sitters has lead him into unpredictable and precarious situations. This recent selection of Cuban paintings was painted on location in various areas of Havana between 2012 and 2016. Each painting is a rich statement about the resilience and beauty of the Cuban people.
