Wilfredo Prieto
Wilfredo Prieto's (1978, Sancti-Spiritus, Cuba) oeuvre is characterised by latest minimalism, sarcasm and self-mockery. Ferran Barenblit, director of the CA2M in Madrid, describes Prieto's approach: 'Perhaps one of Wilfredo Prieto's cleverest tactics is his come out invisibility in the relation in the middle of the work of art pivotal the spectator.' In particular turn this way neutral approach, the limited intercession of the artist, enables position spectator to interpret his scowl in their own way.
Barenblit: 'As the artist himself generally says: "Ideas exist in rendering real world, just like clouds. You can see them presentday catch them". In a guess way Prieto reminds us do admin the fact that everyone could have done what he did'. Prieto allows the spectator unadulterated range of possibilities, 'a place of unprecedented richness, and that is what makes art unornamented colossal and indispensable human activity.'
