Galería Roberto Fabelo, Havana

This gallery, belonging to painter and illustrator Roberto Fabelo, occupies a room on the second floor of an old colonial house, which was once the San Francisco de Sales school for orphaned girls. The La Mina cafe and restaurant is located on the ground floor. Fabelo is considered to be one of the most original artists on the contemporary Latin American scene. He uses this space to display some of his own work, and sometimes for shared exhibitions with other artists. His paintings are executed in a mannerist style, skilfully evoking Archimboldo and Duchamp, and revolving around the themes of the pyramid and power, the court and miracles, desire and obsession.
