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.
