Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present Islands, a selection of prints by Rafael Ferrer. This exhibition marks the second iteration of the gallery’s EDITIONS initiative, dedicated to showcasing prints, multiples, and works on paper.
Produced between 1989 and 1993, this group of prints captures the intensity of the Caribbean landscape. Through saturated colors, deep shadow, and expressive figuration, Ferrer renders scenes that feel both painterly and tactile. This work depicts sunset vistas, burning bonfires, and calm waters against lush tropical foliage, evoking moments where light and color heighten the sensory experience of place.
Across this selection, vivid tonal contrasts and radiant hues articulate a vision of the tropics that is immediate and atmospheric, defined by turquoise waters, lush verdant interiors, and palm-fringed coastlines.
Ferrer’s practice is rooted in an exploration of marginal, transitory, and culturally hybrid spaces. Drawing on a wide range of materials, from corrugated tin and paper bags to welded steel and organic forms, his work articulates a visual vocabulary shaped by movement, exchange, and layered histories. His imagery foregrounds both the fragility and resilience of communities navigating complex social and geopolitical conditions, evoking a world defined by fluid borders and intersecting identities.
Fredric Snitzer Gallery, EDITIONS, highlights media that play a vital role in contemporary artistic practice while offering new points of access for collectors and audiences alike.
