This event has ended.

This marks the artist’s seventh solo show at Davidson Contemporary featuring new paintings which delve deeper into the symbolism and Post-Surrealist imagery that has made Rosas such a successful artist. "Un Verso Sencillo / A Simple Verse" is a reference to Jose Marti’s collection of poems, Versos sencillos. They were the last poems to be printed before Marti's death and reflect his own struggle for identity as a Cuban fighting for independence against the Spanish at the end of the 19th century. Like Marti, and Cuba as a whole, Rosas’ paintings broach the inseparability of crossed cultures and balance the polarized images of the glorious and the melancholy.
