More paintings here from the Cuban artist “Lolo,” also known as Manuel A. Alvarez Suazo of Havana.  These paintings are the works he is currently busy painting for his upcoming exhibition in Denmark.

He paints the classic American car seen all over the streets of Havana, juxtaposing  the almost photo realism of the car placed in an unreal space or position that contributes to the surreal aspect of his work.

The old American cars so loved by Cubans can be seen in one painting suspended in the air under a full moon.  Beneath the moon and the car, the island of  Cuba is reflected by the light of the moon.  In another painting, a classic American car was balanced precariously on an island in the sea, an island of old tires and garbage.  In another of his paintings, two cars form the support structure of an old Cuban house, its verandah draped with the daily laundry hung out to dry, so often seen when walking the streets of Havana.
