The Casa de Las Tejerinas will host an exhibition of contemporary art by Cuban artists of the 1980s generation, in homage to photographer Mario Algaze (1947-2022).

The exhibition belongs to the private collection of the publicist Jorge Reynardus and Patricia Butterheim, and will be inaugurated on Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m., with free access.

The Estepona City Hall informs that the Casa de Las Tejerinas, located in the Plaza de las Flores, will host from April 23, at 7:00 p.m., a new exhibition of contemporary art by Cuban artists of the 1980s generation who left Cuba in the 1990s, and reside, for the most part, in the U.S., Spain and Mexico.

The exhibition, titled ‘Homage to Mario Algaze’, belongs to the private collection of the publicist founder of The Cuban Art Alliance, Jorge Rynardus, and Patricia Butterheim, both residents of Estepona since 2023, and reflects the nostalgic vision of this neoclassical photographer, where cultural traditions appear within images that enclose their own sense of space and time. A contemporary look on memory, identity and the instant. Photography and art that dialogue between the intimate and the documentary.

The exhibition includes works by artists Mario Algaze, Ivan Cañas, Luis Cabrera, Carlos Cardenas, Willy Castellanos, Angel Delgado, Antonia Eiriz, Antonio Eligio Fernandez (Tonel), Kattia Garcia Fayat, Ismael Gomez Peralta, Ramon Grandal, Wifredo Lam, Luis Mallo, Armando Mariño, Adrian Menendez, Elsa Mora, Eduardo Muñoz Ordoqui, Marta Maria Perez, Jesus Rivera, Juan-Si Gonzalez and Tito Trelles.

Mario Algaze (Havana 1947- Miami 2022), was a photographer known for his elegant black and white images. Exiled from Cuba as a teenager, he found his voice through photography. His work is characterized by the use of light in the early hours of the day. In the 1970s he photographed a number of artists, including Mick Jagger, James Brown, Paul McCartney, Nina Simone and Natalie Cole, among others.

Algaze’s work has been widely exhibited in the United States and Latin America and is part of important museum collections, where it continues to be a tribute to Latino identity and the art of black and white photography.

The exhibition, of indeterminate duration, can be visited from Tuesday to Friday, from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, and Saturdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm and from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, with free access.
