To welcome the year 2022, we will inaugurate our Collection Exhibition in February. They are paintings, sculptures and photographs by some of the artists we represent, such as Ana Maria Tavares, Nelson Leirner, Iole de Freitas, Miguel Rio Branco and Marcius Galan.

At the back of the gallery is the largest work in the exhibition, 270cm wide, in which Daniel Senise reappropriates pages from old books. The artist has collected material from sources ranging from artists’ monographs to religious books, creating a new pictorial platform, harnessing the power retained by the material and addressing the issue of matter versus time.

The highlight is Miguel Rio Branco, one of the national artists with the greatest projection abroad, who is part of the exhibition with a triptych.

Iole de Freitas is one of the most important Brazilian sculptors. Her work “Os Terra”, as she has named it, refers to the subtle gradations of the color earth in her works, which vary from almost ochre to the dark red of the iron soil of Minas Gerais, where she spent her childhood. The artist Ana Maria Tavares, in her work exhibited here, resorts to the mantras “I desire, I deserve, I delight”. According to the artist “the mantras are like syntheses of the present time, they work as passwords to navigate in the contemporary world”.

Nelson Leirner is a multimedia artist who has done a bit of everything, using the strategy of appropriation, simulation, and assemblage.

The only sculpture in the exhibition is by Marcius Galan. With this work, Galan challenges once again the spectator’s perception, generating a perceptual conflict between what we see and what we imagine, the real and the virtual.
