Full Metal Jacket

“Full Metal Jacket” (1996) (Villfañe, 1997) is Rivera Villafañe’s fourth solo exhibition, held at the Antiguo Arsenal de la Marina del Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and organized by the Luigi Marrozzini Gallery. Cuban art critic Manuel Álvarez Lezama dedicates a full critique to this exhibition, highlighting it as “an extremely challenging spectacle that addresses violence and how this alarming social disease has permeated all aspects of our distrust in life.” He adds, “Rivera Villafañe’s exhibition is a balanced combination of paintings, sculptures, installations, and ‘games’ that force us to confront the ever-present reality of violence.”
