As part of its 30th anniversary celebrations, Lyle O. Reitzel Contemporary Art is honored to present Traveling show to Santo Domingo, a solo exhibition by renowned Cuban-American artist Luis Cruz Azaceta, a key figure in Latin American contemporary art.

The exhibition brings together monumental works created between 2008 and 2025, in which Cruz Azaceta, curated by the artist and the gallery owner, displays the expressive power of his pictorial language, marked by the tension between abstraction, fleeing geometry, and the fragmented body. With an intense palette and a deeply human visual narrative, the artist addresses core themes in his work: migration, displacement, systemic violence, refuge, and identity.

Traveling show to Santo Domingo offers a panoramic view of his most recent production, with large-format pieces such as In transit, Refugee 1,001, La luz del Arcoiris, and the eponymous work of the exhibition. Together, they form an electrifying visual narrative that connects the personal with the political, and the local with the global.

The exhibition comes at a key moment in Azaceta's career, following a sustained resurgence of interest in his work, which has caught the attention of key museums and institutions. In 2024, the National Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.) added important pieces by him to its permanent collection. That same year, he was awarded the Opus Prize by the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, recognizing the significance of his career, his aesthetic consistency, and the power of his voice as a contemporary artist.
