Note:
With the high cost of shipping many of our customers choose to ship by USPS. For small and light shipments this is usually less expensive, but please be aware that their estimates are often wrong and their service can be very slow (sixteen days for Priority Mail from Philadelphia to New York City recently). The service is not always as economical as it may appear, particularly on larger or more valuable shipments. USPS estimates only include insurance up to $100 for its domestic shipments. If you ask for full insurance we will recalculate the shipping cost and send you an invoice for any difference in cost. For overseas shipments USPS will not insure for over $650. On request we can get estimates for overseas shipping from DHL.

Cuban Self-Taught: Paintings from the Indigo Arts Collection

A Selection of Indigo Arts' collection is showing at the Zephirin-Giannetta Gallery in Ardmore, PA

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 16, 3 to 5pm

Indigo Arts has exhibited the work of a wide range of Self-taught Cuban artists over the last 24 years. Some, such as Francisco Ravelo Calunga, Fito, Pelly, Luis Joaquin Rodriguez Arias and Roberto Torres Lameda, chronicle the life and landscape of Cuba in a naif but often meticulous manner. Artists Javier Gonzalez Gallosa, Alejandro Lazo and Elio Vilva reflect their Afro-Cuban religious milieu, ranging from Catholicism to Santeria and Palo Mayombe. Others, such as Carlos Garcia Huergo, Mario Mesa, Damian Valdes Dilla and Wayacon are true outsiders, who record their personal visions and demons on cardboard, scraps of cloth or whatever materials may come their way.
