Umbral Miguel Florido was one of many Cuban artists shown by Cernuda Arte (Coral Gables) at Expo Chicago 2019.
Florido's work often employs what looks like a single color but if you tried to count all the different shades of green in Our Love Flows (below) you would be at it for weeks. There is a lushness to these works, a depth that draws you in. At first a sense of simplicity and then, as you observe, motion, light and life.
Even Umbral (Threshold), the flag piece to the left here, isn't as simple as it seems, there are cracks and distortions in the flag, almost a weariness (if that doesn't sound strange).
