Consuegra’s design features a series of ceramic tile panels on the platform walls and bronze medallions which revolve around motifs of the sun and moon.

The art, titled “Good Morning and Good Night,” mirrors the flow of riders going to and from the station to their homes each day.

The “Good Morning” portion of the artwork is on the inbound side of the station, which fills in the morning hours and features images of the sun rising, while the “Good Night” segment welcomes travelers home as the evening arrives with scenes of the moon high above the night sky.

1961

Edmundo Desnoes’ 1961 essay invites us to consider the artist’s impact: “The paintings of Hugo Consuegra always give us the impression of having penetrated into an occult world: of having descended into an underworld or of stumbling onto the private life of an unknown family.

His paintings always produce a subjective effect.

His burnished blues, his tanned browns, his nightmare landscapes with black skies and desolated countrysides, belong to the world of the inner personality.

There are areas in which color concentrates and seems to form thick drops, and other places in which it evaporates or is forgotten.

His canvases are always resolved in genuine good taste.”

1967

His award-winning artwork was widely exhibited in Cuba and internationally until he received political asylum in Spain in 1967.

He moved to New York three years later continuing his painting, drawing and engraving career.

1975
