Artist Reception: Friday, November 7, 2025, 5:00 PM “Reynier Llanes is a master of color and form and figure. The narratives are born of fables and Magic Realism where tapestries of fantasy and unlikely narratives intertwine with our reality. His work evokes our curiosity and fills our hearts. The human scale canvases invite us for a profound intellectual journey and a cosmic physical experience.” – Wilson McCray, Gallery Director ARTIST BIOGRAPHYBorn in Pinar del Rio, Cuba in 1985. He attended the city’s school of art (Instructores de Arte) for four years and completed his studies in 2004. In 2012 Oxford America recognized him as one of the “New Superstars ofSouthernArt.” Llanes relocated with his family to Miami in 2015 in order to take advantage of the city’s international art market and vibrant cultural life and to be closer to his home country. His work it’s represented by prestigious institutions like Harmon Meek Gallery in Naples, FL, featured in public collections like the Denver Art Museum and presented at The Butler Institute of American Art, the Polk Musuem of Art, among many others. For the years to come, Reynier would continue to work with institutions and communities in a series of projects focused on exploring the diverse sides of human nature and his exploration of art mediums and techniques.Website: reynierllanes.com RECENT EXHIBITS• Steeped in Folklore: Recent Paintings by Reynier Llanes, Morris Museum of Art, Augusta, GA• Pursuit of Grace, Rutgers University, Camden, NJ• Brewing Expression, Harmon-Meek Gallery, Naples, FL
