ORLANDO CUEVAS

Orlando Cuevas creates artistic paradoxes. His sculptures are playful and somber, nostalgic and full of fearful apprehension, folksy and complex with political allegory. Ancestral ghosts haunt his dollhouses, and his chess sets are armies of marauding gargoyles. A visual artist, Cuevas combines reassembled objects with hand-created forms with precision and purpose to reveal his unfettered, wondrously irrational imagination.
