The exhibition showcases Alom's unique vision through striking photographs that challenge conventional notions of identity, strength, and resilience.
In a world marked by shifting ideologies and socio-political landscapes, Alom's lens captures the essence of the body as more than mere flesh and bones—it becomes a symbol of defiance and empowerment. Through intimate portrayals and thought-provoking compositions, Postales del Abismo, curated by Sandra Contreras, highlights how the human form embodies resistance.
Renowned photographer Juan Carlos Alom invites viewers into a captivating exploration of the human body as a powerful instrument of resistance in the upcoming exhibition. His artistic journey is deeply rooted in the cultural and historical context of his native Cuba. His work transcends boundaries, seamlessly blending the personal with the universal. Alom confronts the inevitability of memory's erosion and the persistent echoes of past traumas. Each photograph is a testament to the body's capacity to resist and endure, illustrating narratives of survival and perseverance.
At the same time as our show, Juan Carlos Alom will exhibit his work at the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum. This exhibition, titled "Entre los Elementos” / “Between the Elements," will run through November 3, 2024. Moreover, Alom will be part of a group exhibition, "Kaleidoscopes-Cuba: Regards Contemporains,” a group show opening at Galleria Continua on June 23rd in Les Moulins, France.
These exhibitions, as well as ours, highlight Alom's significant presence in the contemporary art scene as his work gains international recognition.
