VOLVAMOS, PAINTINGS IN A CYCLE TO BE UNVEILED
The Galería del Paseo Lima presents Volvamos (Let’s Return), the solo show by Sylvia Fernández under the curatorship of Nicolás Gómez Echeverri.
The curatorship raises a reflection on the bets that Sylvia makes in her pictorial practice, one of them being time as an unavoidable factor in her work, and with it an approach to memory, the imaginary and the common.
Gómez Echeverri postulates in the curatorial text, “Sylvia Fernández's work reveals her particular willingness to surrender to everything that the practice of painting provides her as an action articulated with her daily life, which explores her intimacy and in whose background she finds the strange and inexplicable of a humanity that is common to all." Although the work on display deals with the course of time and the pronunciation of the passage, the title of the exhibition also provides indications about the circularity implicit in the running and traversing of temporal segments.
As personal as it is universally essential, Fernández's painting draws on her desires and dreams, and uses the shape of the body and its fragments to dialogue with nature, air, water, earth, reaching the erotic, the emotional and the human. In a figuration that retains its mystery, the artist transmits a density from which the viewer does not escape.

“EL ATAJO”. A DISPLACEMENT IN THE AUTHOR
José Luis Landet has been searching for the image of the Latin American landscape for years. And in El Atajo (The Shortcut), the exhibition that he presents in Marco, he finds some ways of approaching that idea. He builds ramps, connects vestiges, shreds colors, traces identikits, joins random images, creates an alphabet ... and ends up building a total idea of our landscape, but above all of another subject that also haunts him: the painting. There is a large installation, a physical shortcut, and a set of 467 works that point to something that is clear in the subtitle: a displacement in the author.
“ANTONIO HERNIQUE AMARAL: INSIDE OUT” IN CASA TRIÂNGULO
Casa Triângulo exhibits Antonio Henrique Amaral: Pelo Avesso, Antonio Henrique Amaral's first exhibition at the gallery, curated by Pollyana Quintella and Raphael Fonseca. Multiple and polyphonic, Antonio Henrique Amaral (1935 - 2015) endeavored to create a body of work that would resist univocal meanings. His more than six decades of production have drawn a multifaceted path that has been the subject of recent revisions through essays and monographic exhibitions that place the artist beyond his iconic and emblematic Bananas, made between 1968 and 1975.
