“[in] sets” exhibition by Nélia Duarte
Date: December 2, 2022 to January 6, 2023
Location: LAC – Creative Activities Laboratory
Free entrance
🇧🇷 Synopsis |
This exhibition results from accidental assemblages. Pieces that, when finished, find a pair, or pairs, in previous works.
It is not, therefore, subject to a theme – although it incorporates it – nor does it follow the rigor of a chronological order. The pieces are linked through emotional dialogues that are established and can be observed and understood through the drawing and/or color selection.
Thematic incorporation is understood in the sometimes caricatured representation of the figures, but also in the geometry that reveals a need for concreteness and limits.
🇧🇷 Bio |
Born in Vila do Bispo in 1962. He has lived in Lagos since 1965, where he studied and worked. Curious and self-taught, she started drawing and painting in 2013 with a preference for oil; she idealizes in a passionate exercise, often influenced by literary suggestion, another of her great passions. She spontaneously resorts to human representation, developing life narratives through drawing and paint. Between 2014 and 2016 she attended a technical course in Multimedia and experimented with new approaches to visual arts, namely graphic design and 2D and 3D animation. Since then, she has participated in several workshops in the field of visual arts. She exhibits, individually and in groups, regularly since 2017, the year in which she holds her first solo exhibition with a collection of 30 works.
