In the decade before her death, in 1999 at age 32, artist\u00a0Belkis Ay\u00f3n<\/a>\u00a0stumbled upon the mythological story of Sik\u00e1n in a book about Abaku\u00e1, a secret Afro-Cuban fraternal organization exclusive to men. At the time, she had been painting with vivid colors, but as she delved deeper into the story of Sik\u00e1n, her palette would shift to blacks and whites, with an emphasis on light and shadow.<\/p>\n

\u201cSik\u00e1n is the woman sacrificed by men in an attempt to obtain her sacred voice,\u201d Ay\u00f3n once said in a 1993 interview.<\/p>\n

It is these Sik\u00e1n-related works that would garner acclaim for Ay\u00f3n, who was born in Havana in 1967. Her art would be included in the 1993 Venice Biennale, the 1994 Havana Biennial, and the 1997 Gwangju Biennale. More recently, her 2016 retrospective would travel to five US cities, including Los Angeles, New York, and Houston, as well as the 2022 Venice Biennale, surrounding a sculpture by Simone Leigh. And now, it is the subject of an exhibition (through April 25) at Miami gallery David Castillo, the artist\u2019s first commercial showing since her death 25 years ago.<\/p>\n

At the gallery, each work is a door into the artist\u2019s imagination. Organized chronologically and presenting pieces made between 1989 to 1999, the exhibition begins with Ay\u00f3n\u2019s first representation of Sik\u00e1n in\u00a0S\u00e1lvanos Abasi\u00a0<\/em>(Abasi Save Us), from 1989, where a genderless figure with dark, fathomless eyes, no mouth, and a small sacred fish hanging from her necklace stares intensely back at the viewer. In the myth, Sik\u00e1n, a princess, accidentally catches a sacred fish, considered the reincarnation of a king, that jumps into her bucket while she fetches water from a nearby river. This fish contained the secret voice that would lead whoever cares for it to prosperity. When the Abaku\u00e1 men learn of this, they send serpents to scare Sik\u00e1n and then sacrifice her, believing the fish\u2019s secret voice to have entered Sik\u00e1n\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n

Ay\u00f3n continues with her own version of this story, looking for openings and closures in the myth. In 1993\u2019s\u00a0Vamos\u00a0<\/em>(Let\u2019s Go), a genderless figure that appears to be Sik\u00e1n has fish scales now encrusted on their body as they present the sacred fish to the other phantasmagoric figures. In\u00a0Siempre Vuelvo\u00a0<\/em>(I Always Return), \u00a0also from 1993, Sik\u00e1n is depicted as risen and resurrected into a dark cosmos. Her mouth remains covered, her hands crossed. Beneath her spirit, three bodies appear to be those that sacrificed her, gesturing upward.<\/p>\n

But, Ay\u00f3n didn\u2019t simply want to reproduce this myth. \u201cMy goal is to synthesize the aesthetic, visual, and poetic details that I find in the\u00a0Abaku\u00e1\u00a0<\/em>mythology and to add my vision,\u201d she said in a 1999 interview that is included, along with the 1993 one, in a monograph accompanying the Miami exhibition, published by [NAME]. With her unique printmaking technique called\u00a0colograf\u00edas\u00a0<\/em>(collagraphs) she collaged materials of different textures onto a rigid matrix (usually cardboard) using what little was available\u2014scraps from textiles, fruits, and found materials\u2014in Cuba at a time of scarcity due to the ongoing US embargo on the country.<\/p>\n

Ernesto Leyva, Belkis Ay\u00f3n\u2019s uncle and the director of the Belkis Ay\u00f3n Estate, recently recalled how difficult this decade, also called El Per\u00edodo Especial (the Special Period), was for Cuba and its artists. Electricity was rationed and blackouts were frequent, meaning Ay\u00f3n likely created her world of myth and mysteries in candlelight or near darkness. Similarly, whenever Ay\u00f3n traveled outside Cuba, she returned with art materials for her students, as materials were nearly impossible to find on the island.<\/p>\n

Even getting to the airport could be a struggle. \u201cIn 1993, Belkis needed to get to the airport with her artworks so that she could attend the 45th Venice Biennale,\u201d he told\u00a0ARTnews<\/em>\u00a0in Spanish during a recent phone interview.The bus never arrived, so Leyva, along with Ay\u00f3n\u2019s husband and her father, bicycled the artist, her suitcases, and her artwork to Havana\u2019s main airport. \u201cIt took us two hours to get from the east to the west of the island, but Belkis made it to the airport before her flight left. I still remember that day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Cuban art historian and curator Cristina Vives, who was friends with Ay\u00f3n, has argued that understanding Ay\u00f3n\u2019s work is incomplete without fully comprehending the historical context that Ay\u00f3n lived through. \u201cWe experienced the \u201990s decade in Cuba together, a hard time politically and economically, but also the time of a huge art boom in Cuban art among the generation to which Belkis belonged,\u201d Vives said during a 2023 talk about Ay\u00f3n at the\u00a0Ludwig Forum Aachen<\/a>\u00a0in Germany, , which mounted a 70-work survey of the artist in 2022.<\/p>\n

During the Peri\u00f3do Especial, censorship was also on the rise, affecting artists, activists, and anyone who questioned the government\u2019s dogmatic policies. Despite this political climate, and likely because of it, Cuba\u2019s art scene flourished, with artists like Juan Francisco Elso, L\u00e1zaro Saavedra, Tania Bruguera, and Tom\u00e1s Esson, whose 1986 exhibition in Havana\u00a0was famously censored\u00a0<\/a>for its political commentary, making work alongside Ay\u00f3n. \u201cPeople would flood the art galleries in Cuba looking for truth,\u201d Vives recalled in her 2023 talk.<\/p>\n

And it is within this context that Ay\u00f3n\u2019s series related to the secret society of Abaku\u00e1 emerged. Perhaps, that covertness appealed to the artist as a refuge, one in which she was free to create. \u201cThose eyes look at you very directly,\u201d Ay\u00f3n said in a 1999 interview, speaking about the figures she depicted. \u201cSo you cannot hide: wherever you move, they are always looking at you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Dealer David Castillo knew he was standing before<\/strong>\u00a0something powerful when he first saw Ayon\u2019s work almost 10 years ago. His connection to her work deepened as he learned more about her work and her influence, not only to her students but generations of artists who have come-up since her passing. \u201cShe was never an overlooked artist. This show is just a continuation of her career when she was alive,\u201d Castillo said.<\/p>\n

The works on view in the current gallery show are not for sale. In 2023, Castillo showed works by Ay\u00f3n at two different Art Basel editions, those works were reserved for select museums, and not available to private collections. The gallery, which has worked with Ay\u00f3n\u2019s estate since 2015, also helped facilitate the acquisition of a major multi-panel work each by the Museum of Modern Art in New York (at Art Basel in Switzerland) and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. (at Art Basel Miami Beach).<\/p>\n

In showing works at a commercial gallery that are not for sale, Castillo said, \u201cThis is about promoting the artist\u2019s legacy and continuing the work we have done with the estate during these years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each artwork is a remnant of the artist\u2019s kingdom where she found the freedom and power, with ink and imagination, to rewrite an ancient legend. Circling the gallery, Ay\u00f3n\u2019s life mirroring that of Sik\u00e1n\u2019s tragic character\u2014the figures morphing and maturing through the years\u2014becomes clear. An untitled work from 1999, one of the last collographs Ay\u00f3n created, shows five of Ay\u00f3n\u2019s signature enigmatic figures. Three of these ghostly presences quietly observe the main figure whose index finger gestures toward the heavens. One of the members crosses their fingers, gesturing luck or divine protection, while the fifth one looks directly at us.<\/p>\n

Shelley R. Langdale, a curator at the NGA who helped the museum acquire the Ay\u00f3n work for its prints and drawings collection, said that while Ay\u00f3n\u2019s Sik\u00e1n series is highly specific to the time and region of its making, she also sees it as having resonance across multiple religions and cultures. \u201cDrawing on different sources, Ay\u00f3n sought a common ground for spirituality,\u201d Langdale told\u00a0ARTnews.<\/em><\/p>\n

Noting Ay\u00f3n\u2019s untimely death, she added, \u201cThe mystery of where she would have gone with her work remains.\u201d<\/p>\n
