Visual artist and photographer from Rio de Janeiro Andréa Brêtas presents the exhibition “Everything Else Between Us”, with pictorial works and mixed media, dealing with human relationships and the 'we'’ that exist on the way
The show, that prints the artist's message on the viewer, curated by Tartaglia Arte at Centro Cultural Correios RJ
“EVERYTHING ELSE BETWEEN US” it's the new solo exhibition by the artist and photographer from Rio de Janeiro Andréa Brêtas, with watercolor acrylic paints on canvas and aluminum, and an installation, where it deals with human relationships and the 'we'’ that exist in the middle of the way, of impasses and difficulties, but also of the serenity and lightness that await after passing through these undone knots.
“Everything Else Between Us” talk about before and after, but of the importance of passing through this halfway, like a prism where light falls and opens into seven colors. When we talk about the pictorial works of Andréa Brêtas, we speak of the specific way in which it relates to its epoch and prints that epoch, with its conflicts and contradictions.
The exhibition is curated by Riccardo Tartaglia and Regina Nobrez, by Tartaglia Arte in Rome, at Centro Cultural Correios RJ, from 10 November.
The rope and space
“The whole space is a tightrope
And I navigate the steps of a cotton net
barefoot in clouds.
And, as if detached from what I am
On a tomorrow with no address
of roads
lost,
I undo what marks my body
The sound that curls up on the back of time”
(Paula Albuquerque)
ABOUT ANDREA BRÊTAS
Carioca, based in Petrópolis since 1992.
Graduated in Law, soon realized that he would not find full fulfillment in the legal world. Your soul has always sought the arts. With paintings and sculptures, he held exhibitions inside and outside Brazil, selling works to various corners of the world. In photography, artists like Brooke Shaden, Danny Bittencourt, Sue Bryce and Flora Borsi act as inspiration and part of the academic background that she has accumulated through numerous courses and workshops here and abroad.. In the painting, the Kandinsky classics, Miró, Pollock and more Luís Aquila, Daniel Senise among others.
Her artistic research seeks to expose the feminine interior as a focus and, for that, makes use of sculpture, of painting and photography as incessant tools of personal expression and demonstration of feelings.

ABOUT TARTAGLIA ART
Tartaglia Arte was founded in 1950 as a painting studio by artist Piero Tartaglia, then known as Piery. after a few years, created a point of reference and cultural meeting with other artists and young talents where, under the guidance of the Master, developed their personal style. Tartaglia's overwhelming passion for pictorial expression with bursts of pure color and violent contrasts that make the canvas come alive, gave life to the School of Disgregationism. He later founded the Galleries, for permanent exhibition of their work and those of their students, and that today are directed by his son Riccardo.
The love for art and a broad cultural vision are the peculiarities of this great artist., and represent their moral and spiritual heritage. Heritage that continues to be represented by Riccardo Tartaglia, who works with the same seriousness and tenacity in the propagation of art, through international exhibitions and events. But all with the signature of Riccardo Tartaglia and Regina Nobrez (Member of the Academy of Fine Arts of Rio de Janeiro and Cultural Ambassador with Honoris Causa, by the Legislative Assembly of Santa Catarina – Honor of the Art of Florianopolis), which confers a certificate of credibility and creative sensitivity.
