At age 76 he continues being faithful to his creations ▫️[email protected] ▫️Photo: Cuban-born artist Vicente Dopico Lerner, Cuba (b. 1943 ). “…Vicente Dopico Lerner’s painting is diligent to a global art history all the while engaged with its contemporary discourse. This is underscored in a distinct formal signature that cites the past but with a sovereign freshness, not unlike other painters who have transformed their predecessors while remaining stylistically individualized. Regarding the latter, John Currin cites seventeenth-century Mannerism, Jenny Saville tropes Lucien Freud, Glenn Brown reworks Frank Auerbach, and Cecily Brown updates Willem de Kooning, to name a just a few. Vicente Dopico Lerner too is attendant to a history of international art in a corpus that is rich with sources that seem to have subsumed twentieth-century abstraction that developed in Europe and across the Americas…” Raúl Zamudio, Independent Curator, Art Critic & Historian New York City. #contemporaryar #abstractart #museum #modernart #artcollector #paintings #artgallery
