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.
For world-renowned multimedia artist Roberto Fabelo,
whose work often includes canine companions, the assignment
was a natural fit. Red Dog, is also a convergence of many of
Fabelo’s other recurring motifs: starkly contrasting reds
and blacks, dramatic female figures, surreal human-
animal hybrids, winged figures, spiraling nautilus
shells, legumes, and the ever-present rhinoceros. In
Fabelo’s hand, these forms come together in startling
ways, creating illusions and details – the crow’s beak
outlining the eye of Xico, the coupled birds touching
beaks to form its heart, the winged female giving
sustenance to the male on the reverse, and so on.

AVAILABLE
To be illustrated in the upcoming catalog

Jorge Arche (1905-1956) was one of the renowned
artists that conformed the first generation of
Cuban Vanguardia painters.
He studied at the Academia Villate for five years
and in 1923 he continued his artistic education
at San Alejandro Academy in Havana, from where
he later graduated. He won awards and accolades
in 1935 on the First and Second National Exposition
of Paintings and Sculptures in Havana, in 1935-1937,
and various more during his life time.
His preference for and success in the genre of
portraiture quickly generated much respect and
admiration amongst the progressive, intelligentsia
of the country during those years, recognizing him
as the best interpreter of the physiognomy and the
psychological traits of his fellow artists, poets,
art critics and intellectuals.
