Luis Enrique López-Chávez

Luis Enrique López-Chávez (born in Manzanillo, Cuba in 1988) is an artist whose work explores the essential nature of form and the tensions that arise when it enters the world as a statement. Through his exploration of the relationship between form and context, language and art, his work emerges as a synthesis of conceptual methodology and poetic image. López-Chávez earned degrees from The Royal Institute of Art in Sweden in 2012 and the Instituto Superior de Arte in Cuba in 2013, and has established himself as a prominent figure in contemporary Cuban art. He has exhibited in both solo and group shows, including Contra los poetas (2017, Servando Gallery, Cuba), It´s Useless (2016, Museo Droguería Johonson, Cuba), and Los síntomas del engaño (2015, Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Cuba). He has also participated in collaborative projects such as Nido sin árbol (2016, Colegio de Arquitectura de La Habana, Cuba), Por el dos (2014, Centro de Desarrollo de las Artes Visuales, Cuba), and The Silent Shout: Voices in Cuban Abstraction (2013, ArtSpace/Virginia Miller Galleries, USA).
