Roberto Fabelo (b. 1950)
Red Dog

acrylic on fiberglass, one-of-a-kind
73 x 25 x 41 inches
Illustrated in IMPORTANT CUBAN
ARTWORKS,
Volume Twenty-One,
page 97.
This artwork was exhibited in XICO,
Journey in Latin America, Museum Park,
Miami, FL, in front of the Pérez Art
Museum, April – July, 2017.
Roberto Fabelo’s Red Dog, 2017 was crafted for a site-
specific installation in Miami, Florida, as part of the
international group exhibition XICO, Journey in Latin
America. The exhibition tasked each participating artist
with the reinterpretation of the Xico (or Xoloitzcuintle),
a jet-black, hairless breed widely regarded as the first
domesticated dog of the Americas. The intention behind
XICO, Journey in Latin America was to promote Pan-American
cultural exchange, inviting dialogue between Latin American
artists and the public through their interpretation of this
ancient western symbol.
