About the Item

A tobacco farmer from the Viñales valley in Cuba. In 1959 residents of Cuba were faced with a stark choice: stay on their island home and live as a “revolutionary” or leave. Some believed wholeheartedly in the new beginning, some were willing to be carried along and some abandoned everything they had and chose exile. The Buena Vista social club found fame as much for their incredible spirit as for their music, but for me it is the everyman that you meet on the street, cigar clamped between teeth, a glint in the eye, that embodies the true spirit of those who have lived through 50 years of struggle. James Sparshatt’s photographs of the “Revolutionary” generation of Cubans capture their grit and indominatable spirit. The work is printed directly on to a sheet of brushed aluminium. The metal gives the work a gritty strength, a resillience that reflects the strength of the photographic subjects. The piece is light and has a high level of innate UV and humidity protection such that it is hangable in bright and damp environments. The portraits are also available as more traditional silver gelatin prints on paper or as high end delectable palladium platinum prints. Direct print on a brushed aluminium dibond sheet Edition of 20 Metal subframe for easy hanging Signed by the artist Certificate of Authenticity from the gallery Country : Viñales Series : Spirit of the Revolution Year : 2001 Media: Direct print on brushed aluminium Frame: Aluminium hanging rails Size: 20" x 20"
