Rita Damásio, 33 years old, born in Olhão. During the first confinement, only with the escape of strolling through the salt marshes of her land, she found in the painting a comforting and fascinating refuge. This exhibition of acrylic painting on canvas portrays precisely this discovery. “Refuge” The calm, complexity and irreverence of the salt marsh landscapes. Where the blue of the sky, the green of the vegetation and the yellow of the pastures contrast with the pink of the salt flats. A combination of elements that overflows with colors and walks a path of beauty. A haven of good vibes during an apocalyptic period.

Creative coding or generative art is a form of art that is created using an algorithm, written in a programming language. In this exhibition, two series of prints will be presented, from images generated by two programs “K_8” and “Power, module” developed in Javascript and P5.js (Processing) by the artist. All images are unique, without any post-processing. They are totally abstract, using only computational and mathematical concepts for their generation, such as recursion (which leads to the fractalization of images), pseudo-random number fields, cellular automata, among others. It should be noted that, underlying the algorithm, the artist’s aesthetic idea is always present, without which there would be no possibility of carrying out the work. “The idea becomes the machine that makes art.”. Sun LeWitt Henrique Silva is a geographical engineer, artist and computer programmer in Javascript. https://about.me/hsilva321

#almostpainting From the photographic register between everyday life, the pictorial look and poetic possibilities. The images captured in an almost stumble in the surrounding reality, arise from observation and questioning of the visual field, whose framing distances them from the referent, transforming them into something, sometimes indistinct, abstract. The photographic medium is subject to a subversion by the look, which expands the senses of color, texture, shadow, reflection, pattern, matter. The reality that, contained in the stability of a square, transcends the photographic condition of the records is decontextualized and recreated.
