Flavio Garciandía is one of the most relevant figures of Postconceptual Art in the Caribbean. He is considered a key figure in the vibrant Cuban art scene of the late seventies and eighties. In addition to his importance as a professor at the Instituto Superior del Arte, his participation in the founding of the Havana Biennial stands out. He defines his work as New Tropical Abstraction, thus playing with the meteorological term Tropical Depre- sion, a type of thunderstorm very characteristic of the Caribbean. The starting point of his imaginary is the research on kitsch and other expressions of popular culture in Latin America. His painting, lucid, sophisticated, erudite, is a very detailed analysis of the history of modern art; of popular strategies of resistance to the normative discourse in the field of the politics of representation; of contemporary social utopias. His taste for appropriation, irony, paradox, humor, carnivalization of style, tautology and self-referentiality make his imaginary inescapable when it comes to enunciating the keys to postmodern art in Latin America.
