Descripción del Artista

Vive y trabaja en Gante (Bélgica) desde 1991. Since the late 1970s, Ricardo Brey’s (b.1955) practice has focused on his research into the origins of humanity and humankind’s place in the world. Born in Cuba, Brey worked briefly as an illustrator and graphic designer before exhibiting in the landmark 1981 group show Volumen I at the Centro de Arte Internacional in Havana. Volumen I brought Brey widespread critical attention and ultimately provided him with the opportunity to travel and exhibit internationally. In 1992, at the invitation of the Belgian curator Jan Hoet, he participated in Documenta IX—the first Cuban artist to do so. Since 2000, Brey has experimented with vitrine installations, producing works like Universe (2002–2006), consisting of 1,004 drawings illustrating an “entire” universe—including every bird, fish, insect, and plant—its supplement Annex (2003–2016), and the ongoing series Every life is a fire, intricate boxes that unfold to reveal books, drawings, sculptures, and performative proposals. These recent works reveal the artist’s decades-long inquiry into how humans understand and categorize reality and themselves.
