My girlfriend's mother recently took a church-sponsored trip to Cuba and brought me back a very nice t-shirt:
Cuba/Imagine by Ares
She also found out more about the artist, Arístides Hernández, and boy am I happy she did! His stuff is kick ass. The imagery is grotesque and beautiful. On one hand my eyes want to move away from the imagery but I also want to pore over every detail. The political images are even more potent:
This image on racism is devastating:
Racism by Ares: By permission of Aristides Hernández
This image on justice brings me to tears; so simple but so deep:
Justice by Ares: By permission of Aristides Hernández
Check out Arístides' site and if you have more information about him, let me know.
