Pinceladas de luz
Tere Stubbe
Una travesía vital entre el arte gráfico, la pintura y otros lenguajes visuales
Inauguración:
7 de agosto de 2025
“Pinceladas de luz” presenta una selección significativa de obras de Tere Stubbe, artista cuya producción abarca más de cinco décadas. Esta muestra ofrece un recorrido sensible por distintas etapas de su vida creativa, reflejadas en obras que exploran el color, la memoria y la identidad.
Su trabajo, profundamente influenciado por su contexto geográfico y cultural —Puerto Rico y el Caribe— se manifiesta en el uso de colores vibrantes y temas arraigados en sus raíces, como las máscaras tradicionales utilizadas en festivales populares. Estas referencias dialogan también con símbolos culturales de Europa y otras regiones del mundo.
La naturaleza es otra fuente constante de inspiración para Tere Stubbe: el mar, la flora y las criaturas que lo habitan se convierten en vehículos de contemplación espiritual y belleza visual. Su dominio de múltiples técnicas —fotograbado, dibujo, pintura y técnicas mixtas— da cuenta de una trayectoria marcada por la exploración formal y la renovación creativa.
Sus obras más recientes, profundamente íntimas, fueron concebidas en memoria de su hijo, Carl Reichard (Q.E.P.D.). En ellas, el duelo se transforma en expresión visual; las emociones y memorias se convierten en arte que conmueve y trasciende.
Esta exposición no es una recopilación cronológica ni una retrospectiva tradicional, sino una afirmación del legado vivo de Tere Stubbe como figura esencial en la escena artística contemporánea. Es también una invitación a curadores, investigadores y gestores culturales a reconocer en su obra un archivo estético y espiritual digno de ser estudiado, preservado y compartido.

Superstar Residente teach Jbalvin how to Rap.
Residente (René Pérez Joglar) is a rapper, singer, writer, producer, film director, and, with his stepbrother Visitante (Eduardo José Cabra Martínez) co-founder of the award-winning rap group Calle 13. They have won 24 Latin Grammys, the most awarded to a single group in Latin music history. Residente possesses a Fine Arts degree and is known for his social and humanitarian work on behalf of UNICEF and Amnesty International.
The son of an actress, Residente grew up in a middle class neighborhood. He began studying music and art as a child. His first obsession was baseball (one that continues), but he learned to play guitar and drums; he was largely self-taught. In high school he was a drummer in the school band. After graduation, he studied Fine Arts at Escuela de Artes Plásticas, and upon completing his Bachelor’s degree, he won a scholarship to Georgia’s Savannah College of Arts & Design for post-graduate work. To relieve the pressure of school, he began to write poems and rap songs, choosing his stage name, “Residente Calle 13”, during those years. After receiving his Master’s degree, he moved to Barcelona where he studied and made films before returning to Puerto Rico. He earned his living for a time doing illustrations, but grew bored. With reggaeton exploding in Puerto Rico, he eventually found his way into the music business by editing and directing videos.
In 2004 he formed Calle 13 with Visitante. After struggling for a number of years, the pair signed to White Lion Records, which issued their controversial singles “Querido F.B.I.” (the first track Residentesent them as a demo) and “Se Vale To-To” (their breakthrough hit) and got them a deal with Sony.
Calle 13 went on to become one of the best-selling groups in Puerto Rican music history, and influential far beyond its borders, throughout Latin America, the United States, Europe, and even Asia with their distinctive, socially conscious, and utterly musical brand of hip-hop. They inspired and influenced an entire generation of rappers and musicians with their recordings, concerts, and videos. Though their music initially came under fire from journalists and politicians, it was the Puerto Rican governor himself, Anibal Acevedo Vilá, who in 2005 admitted listening to them and having his eyes opened by their music. Their reputation became one of artists, statesmen, and national heroes.
Calle 13 began a series of collaborations with other artists including Nelly Furtado, Alejandro Sanz, and Cuba’s Orishas, to name a few. As their fame grew and awards were bestowed, the band’s artistic ambitions knew no bounds and they added elements of bomba plena, salsa, funk, rock, and jazz to their sound.
From their self-titled debut in 2005 to 2013’s Multi_Viral, each recording went platinum; all have placed on the rap charts — internationally — three made the pop Top 200, and all have made the Top 25 on the Latin albums and Tropical charts. Various singles have hit the top spot on several charts simultaneously. Calle 13 went on hiatus after Multi_Viral‘s world tour. Residente almost immediately announced a solo album and began traveling and recording in various countries including China, Russia, Spain, Ghana, and even Siberia.
He appeared with K’naan, Snow Tha Product, and Riz MC on the track “Immigrants (We Get the Job Done),” which was featured on the Hamilton Mixtape. In December of 2016, Residente launched a website for his upcoming album that teased songs, offered video clips, and provided documentary information about his travels and recording. He dropped a pre-release video single in January entitled “Somos Anomales” — the provocative document was directed by Argentine film director Alejandro Agresti and garnered over four-and-a-half-million views within a few weeks of its release. His self-titled full-length album was issued by Sony in the spring of 2017. The high-charting release took home the Latin Grammy for Best Urban Music album. It was nominated for Best Latin Rock, Urban or Alternative Album at the 2018 Grammy Awards. July 2019 saw Residente issue the high-energy single “Bellacosa.”

There are certain images that are repeated throughout El Pun18’s works. For instance, the use of the cat with a slanted eye gives you a sense that no character is left behind in his world of intense, psychedelic imagery. These characters become distorted and exaggerated to enhance the effect of the specific idea he is trying to convey at the time. What’s more, his image use runs the gamut from dark imagery such as skulls to a more happy ElPun18 with the incorporation of beautiful flowers, for example. “Big Bang” is one of El Pun 18’s signature pieces that sets the tone for what he is bringing to the art world: an explosion of ideas and thoughts he skillfully manages to squeeze into his works of art. Ultimately, the variations of images throughout his work lead his audience to believe that there isn’t a set theme to his work, but rather a constant exploration into new concepts and ideas that keep El Pun 18’s work fresh and captivating.
His good friend Mario E. Ramirez from tostfilms said: “Every moment that passes is one of learning and assess everything we have, Pun18is. Today is a day to celebrate your life and all the moments I shared with you. Thanks for including me and count on me for all the inventions you had. I will miss him dearly and continue forward like you taught me well. I love you like a brother. Rest in peace.” I met Pun18 in one of its murals on the street Canals, where Pun created the event of Urban Art “The Canals“. Pun 18’s is sure to take you on a psychedelic art trip, and you’ll love every minute of it.”

LIVES AND WORKS IN SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO
Adorned with tropical plants and constructed from the odds and ends of urban living, Radamés “Juni” Figueroa’s makeshift structure installed in the Museum’s sculpture court serves as an open space for gathering, reflecting, and celebrating. Figueroa is a native of San Juan, Puerto Rico, a city in which the cultural influences and political complexities of the United States and Latin America converge in the midst of a diverse topology featuring mountains, tropical forests, the beach, and the urban center.
Originally trained as a painter, Figueroa began to expand his practice to outside the studio in 2008. Much of his recent work involves creating environments that transmit the experience of living in San Juan. “Addressing such sensations,” he has said, “enables me to speak of where I come from without addressing the political in a literal way. . . . I like creating environments in which bodies interact with the work. I speak of my experiences through the work, and what I know best is life next to the sea, the heat, the music, and a relaxed aesthetic.” Recently, Figueroa has developed projects such as La Loseta, an artist-run domestic space founded as a response to the lack of exhibition venues in Puerto Rico, and Tree House—Casa Club, an architectural haven in a sustainable forest, constructed of an incongruous mixture of found materials gleaned from both the urban environment and the surrounding woods. Figueroa here similarly juxtaposes the improvisatory nature of tropical architecture with the Brutalist aesthetics of Marcel Breuer’s Whitney building, even including a chair designed by Breuer as an ironic nod to the contradictions and connections between the two structures.
