ENRIQUE LEMAGNE CÁRDENAS, “Lemagne ’83” (Cuba, 1983). “Hunter-Gatherers.” Mixed media and acrylic on canvas. Signed. Certificate of authenticity included. Dimensions: 80 x 100 cm. In “Hunter-Gatherers,” Lemagne ’83 recreates a world of primal resonance through a composition filled with human figures, animals, and geometric symbols. The stylized silhouettes, inspired by certain traditions of African art, evoke hunting scenes and ways of life connected to nature. The artist arranges these elements against a background of intense chromatic gradations, dominated by yellows, reds, and blues, creating striking contrasts with the black figures. The result is a symbolic visual narrative in which ancestral references are reinterpreted through a contemporary language that borders on abstraction and surrealism. Lemagne ’83 creates work that moves between the surreal and the poetic, exploring the symbolic and metaphysical dimensions of the 20th-century avant-garde. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociocultural Studies from the University of Camagüey, Cuba (2012), and furthered his education with studies in photography in 2013. His work combines schematic figuration, abstraction, and diverse cultural references, expressed through a language of intense color. Notable among his recent exhibitions are his participation at the Thomson Gallery in Zug, Switzerland (2025); the BIARCO Contemporary Art Biennial in Armenia, Colombia (2024); “Plural,” at the Vearte Gallery in Alicante (2024), and the exhibition organized by the Alicante Artists’ Association (2024).
