The Casa de Las Tejerinas will host an exhibition of contemporary art by Cuban artists from the 1980s generation, in homage to the photographer Mario Algaze (1947-2022)
The exhibition belongs to the private collection of publicist Jorge Reynardus and Patricia Butterheim, and will be inaugurated on Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m., with free admission.
The Estepona City Council informs that the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de las Flores, will host, starting on April 23rd at 7:00 pm, a new exhibition of contemporary art by Cuban artists from the 80s generation who left Cuba in the 90s, and reside, for the most part, in the USA, Spain and Mexico.
The exhibition, titled 'Homage to Mario Algaze', belongs to the private collection of Jorge Rynardus, the publicist and founder of The Cuban Art Alliance, and Patricia Butterheim, both residents of Estepona since 2023. It reflects the nostalgic vision of this neoclassical photographer, where cultural traditions appear within images that embody a unique sense of space and time. A contemporary perspective on memory, identity, and the fleeting moment. Photography and art that engage in a dialogue between the intimate and the documentary.
The exhibition includes works by the artists Mario Algaze, Ivan Cañas, Luis Cabrera, Carlos Cárdenas, Willy Castellanos, Angel Delgado, Antonia Eiriz, Antonio Eligio Fernández (Tonel), Kattia García Fayat, Ismael Gómez Peralta, Ramón Grandal, Wifredo Lam, Luis Mallo, Armando Mariño, Adrian Menendez, Elsa Mora, Eduardo Muñoz Ordoqui, Marta María Pérez, Jesús Rivera, Juan-Si Gonzalez and Tito Trelles.
Mario Algaze (Havana 1947–Miami 2022) was a photographer renowned for his elegant black and white images. Exiled from Cuba in his teens, he found his voice through photography. His work is characterized by the use of early morning light. In the 1970s, he photographed a large number of artists, including Mick Jagger, James Brown, Paul McCartney, Nina Simone, and Natalie Cole, among others.
Algaze's work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Latin America and is part of important museum collections, where it continues to be a tribute to Latino identity and the art of black and white photography.
The exhibition, which has an indefinite duration, can be visited from Tuesday to Friday, from 09:00 to 20:00, and Saturdays from 09:00 to 14:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00, with free access.
