Dominican artist Raul Recio’s new exhibition “Open Mind” will open on May 8, 2010, at the Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery in Miami, Florida.  His work will be on view until June 10.

Raul Recio (Dominican Republic, 1965) is a self-described poet and joker. “Nonetheless, he is a very serious artist, and the closest of all Dominicans to the ultra avant-garde. An irreverent iconoclast, he satirizes the tropics dear to the tourist, summed up in sex, sun and sea. He finds great satisfaction in being a genuine son of the Caribbean and in expressing himself with complete freedom.”

Lyle O. Reitzel Gallery (Miami) is located at 2441 NW 2nd Avenue, Wynwood Art District, Miami, Florida. Hours are Wednesday through Fridays from 10:00am to 6:00pm and Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 6:00pm.
