Artist
Cuba
Osley Gil graduated in 2006 from the Provincial Academy of Plastic Arts Eduardo Abela in Artemisa, Cuba. His work focuses on portraiture and still life, generally in large formats, although he does not rule out small dimensions. With his representations he tries to suggest stories from the forms and the atmosphere they generate. He stops at the appearance of objects, tries to capture them in their external appearance and invites us to take pleasure in their surfaces. Far from the pictorial language of gesture and expressionism, hyperrealism implies a careful, precious execution. Expressionism seeks to free the form, while hyperrealism encloses it.
Solo exhibitions include Cavae Interiorum, a virtual exhibition in 2020, Naive Dreams at Ybor Art Factory in 2006, the Municipal Direction of Public Health in Havana, 2015, and Metamorphosis at the AHS in Mayabeque, Cuba.
