José Luis Fariñas Cuban, b. 1972

"Lasting Life," an elegant thought-provoking two-person show featuring a selection of works by Canadian artist Dominique Paul and Cuban artist José Luis Fariñas. Both artists utilize insects – bees, butterflies, etc. – as a metaphor for the changing nature of human existence. Paul’s opulent photographic prints concern the biological and ecological coexistence of humans and insects, whereas Farinãs‘s intricate ink-and-watercolor drawings deal with the introspective and philosophical implications of their coexistence.
