Featuring RU artist-in-residence Jose Capaz in the RU voices interview series 🎤
Jose Capaz’s work is rooted in a process of introspection, in which he reflects on his past and interprets history from a psychological perspective. Through this process, he offers new readings, narrates, and reconstructs his artistic language. He creates scenographies filled with symbols drawn from memory, ultimately constructing landscapes that are, in a way, endless. These landscapes always reach toward infinity and space, a theme he considers fundamental to his paintings. This is why he often produces works of large dimensions, which may be connected to the trauma of being born in a small town that, to him, is a big place full of industrialization and machinery.
Jose’s Open Studio “Bending Time (My Past Is Here)” took place on November 25 at Cuban Artists Fund Studio, 208 E 51st St, 2nd Floor, NY. This work was marked by the artist’s personal interpretation of history and memory directly referencing the industrial city of Regla where he was born and raised and that is located on the outskirts of Havana.
