The Gallery of Guerrillero Newspaper opened recently a personal exhbition by local painter Rubén Pérez Caraballo
These days are plenty the events taking place to pay homage to the 91 years of disappeared painter Oswaldo Guayasamin, and while his Museum House located in Old Havana shows the exhibit Cuba paints Guayasamin, the gallery of Guerrillero newspaper opened recently a personal exhibition under the title Interpretation (Interpretacion) in honor to the Ecuadorian artist.

If the display of the Cuban capital, headed by renowned filmmaker Roberto Chile gathers the best of the contemporary Cuban art, in our center the ten pieces count on the lines by Rubén Pérez Caraballo, a young amateur that after some years of experience dare to re-interpret Guayasamin's most famous paintings and even proposes some new works that if the painter was alive would have painted for sure.

Following that line appear versions with Latin American icons like the leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro Ruz and the president of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Hugo Chavez Frias.

Other topics and re-readings emerge from Caraballo's paintbrush, sometimes from a copy of the famous author, others from own ideas of this local painter, but always encouraged by the immense legacy of the indigenous painter.

The exhibition is available for the audience until August 21, and more that the image of Guayasamin's art, it impregnates his spirit and leaves, as he wanted, a light among the mortals so that he can always return.
