Manuel L\u00f3pez Oliva\u2019s paintings combine eclectic literary and historic images with theatrical and artisanal themes. His profusely patterned, dreamlike paintings possess rich layers of color and meaning. Many Cubans interpret L\u00f3pez Oliva\u2019s work as highly representative of the surreal, self-contradictory, and multi-layered reality of contemporary Cuban life.<\/p>\n<p>L\u00f3pez Oliva completed his studies at the National Academy of Art, in Havana and is one of Cuba\u2019s premier artists and cultural critics. He is an editor for Cuba\u2019s leading culture and arts magazine Temas, and has served in the governing body of UNEAC, Cuba\u2019s union of artists and writers. Though L\u00f3pez Oliva\u2019s paintings are featured in the permanent collections of museums in France, Spain, Sweden, Italy, Norway, Cuba, and the United States. This will be the first solo exhibition of his work in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item
