GLEXIS NOVOA (B. 1964) Hemingway signed, inscribed and dated ''Hemingway' Glexis Havana May-18-2015' (on the reverse) acrylic and graphite on canvas 39 3/8 x 78 3/4 in (99.9 x 199.9 cm) Painted in 2015 Footnotes: This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist and dated April 20, 2025. Provenance Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner. Hemingway (2014) offers a visual reflection on identity, history, and cultural memory through the symbolic invocation of the renowned American writer and his enduring connection to Cuba. The work integrates the name 'Hemingway' into the visual structure of the Cuban flag, establishing a dialogue between literature, politics, and belonging. Bold typography, flat color, and graphic clarity transform text into image, emphasizing the way proper names can function as historical emblems. Drawing from both popular culture and ideological discourse, the composition explores the tension between personal myth and political construction. The work belongs to Novoa's broader practice of appropriating recognizable symbols and reconfiguring them through a critical lens, where history, language, and memory intersect in contemporary readings of identity.
