two artworks by mysleidys castillo pedroso exhibited in the group show green is the color
Without concern for hierarchy, genre, generation or medium, the exhibition brings together some fifty works whose only common denominator is that the color green is the dominant one.
For many, green is the color of youth, happiness and hope. Excellent reasons for choosing this color as the theme of our exhibition.”
Michel Pastoureau, Vert - Histoire d’une couleur, 2019 (Éditions du Seuil)

This Cuban artist has no other means of expression than that of her creation. The walls of her home, where she lives with her mother, are covered with drawings of bodybuilders, brown tape scattered along the outlines. A true community of men, women, hermaphrodites and wildlife, Misleidys has built her sociality through her work. Discovered by the gallery in 2014, she has been featured in more than 10 international exhibitions since 2018, including New Images of Man in Los Angeles, Flying High in Vienna, and Independent in New York. Acclaimed by Matthew Higgs and Karen Wong (New Museum, NYC), the artist has been the subject of recent reviews in the New York Times and Art in America.
A significant number of his works was donated to the Centre Pompidou collection in 2021.
