Strong-Cuevas and Christophe von Hohenberg “Visionary Coincidence”
Leonard Tourné Gallery
This event has ended.
Strong-Cuevas’s work explores inner consciousness, outer space and communication through space and time. In the words of distinguished art critic Donald Kuspit, “Strong-Cuevas’s sculpture is rooted in primitive art, with its bold structures, expressive directness, communal symbolism, and conviction of cosmic absolutes. It is also rooted in Cubism, with its awareness of the dialectical ambiguity of appearances, perhaps most evident in Picasso’s use of frontal and profile views of the face in a single image, at once integrating them yet allowing them their difference. Primordial expression and sophisticated perception are the alpha and omega of modern art.”
Born in Paris, Strong-Cuevas lives and works in New York, where she studied under John Hovannes at the Art Students League of New York and worked on projects with Toto Meylan. Her work has been exhibited in dozens of solo and group exhibitions and is represented in the collections of the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut; Heckscher Museum in Huntington, New York; Guild Hall Museum in East Hampton, New York; Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey; and the Smithsonian-affiliated Long Island Museum in Stony Brooke, New York.
