NEW YORK, NY.- Galeria Nara Roesler announces their representation of Alexandre Arrechea

Alexandre Arrechea (b. 1970, Trinidad, Cuba) is a founding member (from 1991 through 2003) of the Cuban artist collective Los Carpinteros. The work of Alexandre Arrechea employs visual metaphors for ongoing social themes of inequality, cultural disenfranchisement, and the disputed position of art in a global, media driven society. Like many artists of his generation, he manipulates symbols and materials in an ambivalent manner, causing the viewer to leave the work with no specific point of view.

Alexandre Arrechea's main solo exhibitions include: Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana; PS1 Contemporary Art Center in New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles; and New Museum in New York.

His works are housed in museums and private collections throughout the world, including: MoMA, New York; Pizzuti Collection, Columbus; the Von Christierson Collection, London; Kadist Art Foundation, San Francisco; the Farber Collection; CAB, Burgos; Museo del Barrio, New York; CIFO, Miami; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Museo de Arte de Miami, Florida; Ellipse Foundation, Lisbon; San Diego Museum of Art; LACMA, Los Angeles; Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Havana; ASU Art Museum, Arizona; Museo Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Reina Sofia, Madrid; Daros Collection, Zurich; Thyssen-Bornemisza Contemporary Art Foundation, Vienna; Cincinnati Museum of Contemporary Art; among others

Alexandre Arrechea lives and works in New York.
