Jose Nazabal

 

José Angel Nazabal is a cuban architect, cartoonist and artist born in 1994 and based in Havana, Cuba. He works mainly in drawings, paintings and digital art. Around his work gravitates a constant reflection on topics such as identity (ethnic, sexual and gender), queer theory and sexual otherness, architectural design, art history and self-referentiality. He is interested in the production of different subjectivities such as those that promote drag culture; the exploration of such rich and multiple notions as androgyny or femininity, homoerotic art and camp aesthetics, characterised by poses, affectation and drama. He enjoys highlighting the artifices, the carnival, the tragic-festive.
