CB Hoyo: Fake and Corny
PAST EXHIBITION | June 25, 2020 – July 18, 2020
What: GR Gallery is pleased to announce “Fake and Corny,” the first solo exhibition of CB Hoyo with the gallery, after two years of collaborations. The show will reveal, for the first time in a public exhibition, the latest series of artworks that the artist has been working on for months: the “Corny Quotes”. Appositely conceived for this occasion, these new works will irreverently crowd the gallery walls, offsetting the artist signature “fakes” paintings. The show will put together several original pieces executed with different media and in various sizes.
When: Opening reception: Wednesday June 24, 6:00pm – 9:00pm (Exhibition Dates: June 25– July 18, 2020). Members of the press can contact GR gallery in advance to schedule a private viewing and an interview with the artist.

Who: CB Hoyo (Cuba, 1995)
About the Exhibition: “Fake and Corny” is a crucial show for the artist’s career since it will mark the end of, or at least a long break from, the series that characterized CB Hoyo’s artistic image: the “fakes’. For this special occasion all the Fakes exhibited will be inspired to artworks in NYC museums and private collections. At the same time will launch his new project leading toward a new period of his creativity. The exhibition aims to be a sort of liminal space in between two different artistic cycles, showcasing anthological examples of CB up to date vision, through his classical artworks, and overcoming it with the exclusive approach of his new inspiration, that will guide his future production.
