Wilfredo Prieto

Work from Cuban artist Wilfredo Prieto. Prieto's work highlights many elements including 'conceptual force, narrative brevity, lack of superfluous elements, insisting references to the artistic practice, a delicate sense of humour, puns and poetry with an equal share of persistence and subtlety. Ultimately, his work consists of drawing the most direct line from the original idea to its execution. It is difficult to explain the precision and thoroughness of the artist. His work is the result of a scrupulous commitment, which helps him to consider all of the formal and conceptual aspects as well as to remove any redundancy from his proposals.'
