By far the most startling work of contemporary art in all of Cuba is Fuster’s fanciful ceramic tile mosaic rendering of a symbolic “rural city” on the far west side of Havana. Inspired by the work of Picasso and Gaudi, Fuster launched the project in 1994, an effort that eventually involved virtually the entire neighborhood. Under Fuster’s direction, neighbors even transformed the walls of their own homes into ceramic fantasies. Fuster’s son, Alex, showed us through this surrealistic masterpiece. I built this image around the thrusting hands and arms that bring order out of chaos.
