This is a lovely water color, by this Cuban Master. It was done on a heavy paper, and is in immaculate condition. Signed and dated 2019.

Fredric Snitzer Gallery is now representing Bedia. They are a very influential gallery, and their promotion of his work is likely to result in a very significant increase in pricing over the next 5 years or so, as they will be doing a great job promoting his work, and getting him into very important art fairs and museums.

 

Few Cuban artists have developed a body of work as coherent and original as that of José Bedia. Although he is one of the most outstanding examples in the history of art in Cuba and Latin America, and he has also received international acknowledgement, his true importance has not yet been fully recognized. In his paintings, drawings and installations, José Bedia has not only used a hive of cultural references from Cuba, but also from Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, focusing on those that western civilization, with its technological vanity and false idea of progress, has considered underdeveloped, backward or pre-modern.

 

According to Bedia, his work is an attempt to rescue, through the discursive strategies of contemporary art, the dispersed fragments of that old wisdom which, to a greater or lesser extent, all those societies have in common, and which are of great importance to complete the deficits of our unbalanced contemporaneity. Bedia's creative method, seemingly spontaneous, intuitive and at times naive, is not only the product of previous rigorous study, but of the assimilation of formal, material, aesthetic, symbolic and historical elements from those cultures that have inspired him and that he reflects either in a simple drawing or painting or in one of his monumental installations. The often simple and schematic appearance of his works and the generally austere and synthetic character of his discourse follows the principle of doing more with less, concealing a conceptual and philosophical depth and an abundance of uncommon information, the result not so much of bookish study as of his contact and direct identification with the systems of knowledge of those cultural groups that some call native, aboriginal or traditional.

Beautiful quality made tv stand.
Color: Walnut
Beautiful TV stand. Easy to assemble. I took a chance on this stand matching the new end tables I got from a different store and manufacturer. They match perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the color of the wood, the quality construction and minimalist clean look. It looks great in my living room.

Modern and sleek
Item Package Quantity: 1
I haven't assembled this yet but I'm really looking forward to using it as a nightstand - the style looks really sleek and modern and it seems like it'll fit perfectly in a small space. It's worth noting that it's made of particle board rather than solid wood, which is pretty standard at this price point, so just go in with that expectation. The design looks really clean and the storage shelf underneath is a practical bonus. Hoping it holds up well over time but based on first impressions and the overall look, I think it's going to be a really nice and affordable addition to the bedroom!

Decent looking but not very sturdy
Item Package Quantity: 1, Item Package Quantity: 1
This table looks pretty nice once it is fully assembled and I appreciated that all the parts were clearly labeled. There were no missing parts, and in fact there were some extras. That made the instructions easier to follow and helped speed things up. From unpacking everything to finishing assembly it took me around 30 minutes. There are a few quality issues though. The black finish feels very thin and started chipping around the screws while I was tightening them down. It does not seem like it will hold up very well over time if it already shows wear during assembly. The biggest issue is the stability. Even after tightening everything, the table still feels a little shaky. The set screws near the bottom base pieces do not stay tight for very long and kept loosening while I was putting it together. I assembled it by myself and the legs kept shifting and falling over because those connections would not stay secure. This is definitely easier if you have another person helping. The packaging also could have been better. The box had a lot of particle board dust and debris inside, so unpacking everything was a bit messy. The item description says it can hold up to 66 pounds, but after putting it together I personally would not trust it with anywhere near that much weight. I originally planned to use it for a small aquarium that weighs around 20 pounds, and even that made me uncomfortable once I saw how flimsy the table felt assembled. I think it is better suited for lightweight items and I'd only store something like a couple of books or a lightweight lamp or a couple of picture frames. Overall it is not terrible and it does look reasonably attractive, but the build quality does not really match the current fifty dollar price in my opinion. It should be priced lower. It works for light decorative use, but I would not expect anything especially sturdy or long lasting.
