Abstract:
Felipe Jesus Consalvos was a Cuban American collage artist and cigar maker. Each of his collages incorporates US manufactured cigar box labels and date from after his immigration to America from Cuba. His collages extrapolate the hobbyist hobo vernacular tradition of patriotic patterned cigar band collage to formally sophisticated, politically subversive, and sexually transgressive ends, using the body as a vehicle for absurdist satire, both hilarious and anxious.
