"La Manzana"  2006

     Born in Cuba in 1960, painter Alberto Godoy, fled the oppression of his native country in 1980. However, he brought with him to the United States  vivid memories of his Carribbean Homeland - which are reflected in his bold, colorful, warm-hued, and exotic images. In a body of recent works, Godoy has embraced symbolic folkloric themes depicting scene from everyday historical Cuban life. Godoy's particular representation of primitivism is projected through his use of exaggerated volume, reflecting his philosophy of the nature in the spherical system of our universe. Godoy is one of Houston's most exciting and promising Latino artists. His paintings reflect the bold and exotic images of this Caribbean homeland of Cuba. Godoy's work also depict the wealth and depth of the diverse Hispanic culture exposing every aspect of the Latino experience with themes ranging  from indigenous and rural life of Colonial Latin America to contemporary images. Godoy's large pieces are technically brilliant and rich in vibrant color and textures. Alberto Godoy © 2001-2007
