<b>Gina Pellón</b> <br>
Planta Secreta <br>
(<i>Secret Plant</i>), 2010<br>
mixed media on canvas<br>
40 x 32 inches<br>
</br>
Gina works feverishly without pause – unstoppable even after the departure from life of almost all her colleagues of the exceptional group COBRA. Not even the biological absenteeism of her compatriot painters and sculptors, who once, in the decades of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s, integrated that talented colony of Cuban émigré artists in France, has slowed her down. Back then, it was the comradery of Joaquín Ferrer, Angel Acosta León, Jorge Camacho, Roberto García York, Agustín Cárdenas, Pérez Castaño, Agustín Fernández, Herrera Zapata, Ramón Alejandro and others. Now, time and destiny have plotted to leave us Gina to hold the flag of a glorious epoch of Cuban art in the Parisian diaspora.

Youth is never forever. Gina arrives at her late style of painting full of energy and enthusiasm. Her creations are freer and seem more spontaneous. The contours of her figures no longer contain, they merely suggest. The expressionism of the unbridled brushwork is loose of formality and devoid of restriction. The palette contributes color fields that clash and make peace. Inevitable destiny of neighbors.Femininity blushes in her canvases, through the feast of color. The sinuous line establish the coquettishly curvatures of her ladies. Women who exalt dignity and self-assurance in a world conquered via beauty and elegance, not by conflict and militancy. <br></br>
