The Río & Meñaka gallery presents El otro lado (The Other Side) at its Madrid venue — an exhibition showcasing the latest body of work by Marlon de Azambuja (Porto Alegre, Brazil, 1978), in which the artist invites viewers to explore the relationship between matter, perception, and memory. Conceived through the material and tactile nature of his sculptures, paintings, and installations, the Brazilian artist encourages the visitor to delve into the blurred boundaries between light and shadow, as well as into the role of memory in shaping the self.
