Painting by Carlos Toranzo (Ciego de Ávila, Cuba 1967 – ) Oil on linen Size linen 70 x 82 cm., size painting: 60 x 75 cm. In good condition. Toranzo, a highly respected Cuban artist, grew up in the midst of political turmoil. Over the last 20 years of his career, he has used the automobile as the centrepiece for his mixed media works. His art expresses both the historical challenges of Castro's rule and the infinitely resolute nature of the Cuban people. After the Cuban revolution the government adopted legislation that severely restricted the purchase of cars, with the exception that all cars purchased before 1959 could be passed on through family members. Will be sent with track & trace, signature required upon receipt. May also be picked up in Alkmaar, the Netherlands.
