collections world wide.
BEYOND THE FACADE: Cuba Revealed features master artist/photographer Jay Seldin’s recent intimate visual narratives of contemporary Cuba. The works provide a six week occasion for visitors to the gallery to experience modern day Cuba firsthand. The work has been curated to draw the viewer into the streets, dwellings, workplaces and lives of this special island that has been “forbidden” to US citizens for so many years. Each of the photographs is a narrative speaking volumes through atmosphere, light, composition and color when Seldin so choses. Jay’s documentary style portraits act as visual short stories revealing meaning as he captures the subtle nuances of gesture, personal interaction and posture. The still-lifes and city/countryscapes literally “freeze” the unique reality of this isla’s persona allowing the viewer a seemingly tangible experience to wander in and explore. All works in the exhibit are available in very limited signed and numbered editions. Curated by Mary Z.
