Luis Cruz Azaceta (Cuban/American, b. 1942) , "Road to Ricovery[sic]", 2010, mixed media, signed, titled and dated in shoe, h. 72 in., w. 11 1/4 in., d. 4 in . Provenance: Commissioned from the artist; Collection of Noted Preservationist and Aesthete Dorian M. Bennett, New Orleans. Note: Luis Cruz Azaceta was born in Havana and escaped to the United States at the age of eighteen, settling in first New York and then New Orleans where he lives and works today. Azaceta has described his initial desire to create art as a need to communicate [his] experiences as a Cuban in New York. Themes in his work since the late 1970s address immigration, gun violence, oppression, displacement, social isolation and racial injustice through the lens of his own personal narrative. Azaceta's artistic style has evolved throughout the course of his career from abstraction to neo-expressionism to pop and back again, while the concept of confronting the reality and morality of the global condition takes center stage. The most symbolic subjects of his work, such as labyrinths, tormented figures, walls and balseros journeying through the turbulent ocean continue to be relevant to todays issues of border politics and immigration. Azaceta often combines media in unexpected ways that illicit an emotional response from his viewer, a technique which is perfectly showcased in the work offered here. A pair of hand-decorated shoes are positioned pointing in opposite directions on a board and placed across from each other on either side of a white line. The line, which in this context evokes the concept of a border or perhaps a solid white road line, acts to highlight the senseless separation of the pair and indicates that neither can transgress onto the other side. "Road to Ricovery[sic]" was created as part of a series of works by over eighty artists who incorporated TOMS shoes into pieces auctioned to benefit the Tropical Health Alliance Foundation. Participating artists included Gene Koss, Jacqueline Bishop, Raine Bedsole and Karoline Schleh, among many others. Ref.: "Bio." Luis Cruz Azaceta. www.luiscruzazaceta-art.com. Accessed Aug. 2, 2020.

LUIS CRUZ AZACETA, Cuban exiled, Signed on the front. Signed and dated New York City 1991 on the reverse, acrylic on cardboard, 62 x 62 cm / 24.4 x 24.4 inches. Estimado $ 50,000-70,000 LUIS CRUZ AZACETA (La Habana, Cuba, 1942 - ) Cuban exiled (autorretrato) Firmado al frente. Firmado y fechado New York City 1991 al reverso Acrílico sobre cartón sobre dos lienzos ensamblados De origen cubano, Luis Cruz Azaceta es un artista en cuya obra se contextualizan los temas de violencia urbana, el aislamiento personal, los abusos y las presiones de los gobiernos. Rebelde e hiperactivo por naturaleza, es un creador prolífico que utiliza el arte como escape del tiempo, de la historia, una manera de enfrentar al mundo. Durante sus estudios en Cuba y Nueva York, se forjó en él un estilo figurativo y abstracto. En la década de los 80, sus composiciones de colores sombríos resaltaron estados de ánimo de figuras distorsionadas. En algunas obras destaca su visión sobre problemas sociales mediante personajes que constantemente están atrapados o tirados, en drogas, con hambruna, así como en plagas e incendios. En los años 90, incorporó temas del momento y realizó las series de Balseros y Exiliados. A pesar de trabajar con temas fuertes para la sociedad, es un artista realista, con un gran reconocimiento internacional. Ha recibido diversos premios y becas, además su obra ha sido apreciada en más de 100 exposiciones individuales en Estados Unidos y países de Europa y América Latina. Actualmente el MoMA, el Metropolitan Museum of Art y el Whitney Museum of American Art en Nueva York, el Smithsonian American Art Museum en Washington, el Museo de Bellas Artes de Caracas y el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey albergan obras de este reconocido artista.
