The National Arts Club and its Fine Arts Committee, in collaboration with ArtOnCuba, will celebrate one of Cuba's most prominent artists, Carlos Quintana with a collection of new paintings at the gallery between April 27th and May 30th. The exhibition, 'Images of a Place that Never Existed' will celebrate its opening with a reception, accessible to the public, on April 29th between 6pm – 8pm, and will be followed up with the Club’s prestigious Sunday Salon, that will explore the nation’s art on May 17th.

Quintana’s work combines the iconography of Cuba, the East and the West's contemporary and traditional styles, to create large format oil paintings, that present us with a dream like universe of vivid colors and rich textures from which powerful yet poetic figures emerge. Known for his irrepressible energy, Quintana’s images are full of metaphoric and humorous gestures, often disturbing, but always seductive.

Hosted by Dr. Alex Rosenberg, Leslie Koot, and Carmen Melian, the Sunday Salon entitled Discovering and Valuing Cuban Art will discuss the quality and desirability of Cuban art, the leading talents in this current 'renaissance,' its lasting appeal to experienced collectors, and the problems confronting novice buyers.

'Images of a Place that Never Existed' marks the fifth installment of the Fine Arts Committee 2015 program and will provide a compliment to prior exhibitions, including: 'Charles James: Beneath the Dress,' 'Halsband Portraits,' 'Dali: The Golden Years,' 'Emilia and Ilya Kabakov,' and 'Goya: Los Caprichos.'
