Enhanced and reworked in quarantine, works gain light at the turn of a year full of peculiarities
Annex CANVAS, with artistic coordination Duílio Ferronato, reopens its exhibition agenda of 2020 with the collective "Almost End ” -virtual and in person with previous scheduling – and works by seven guest artists: Clara de Capua, Daniel Mello, Gabriel Pessoto, Gabriel Torggler, Higo Joseph, Irene Warrior and Maria Luiza Mazzetto.
“This was a year that seemed to go on forever: canceled projects, endless months, mismatched and breaking news two troubled elections: one local and one international. Now, with Almost End, the Annex CANVAS sets out to end 2020 with a sample of the works that missed the opportunity to be seen. The invited artists have in common in addition to the persistence of the work in the studio, postponed and canceled projects ”, explains Duilio Ferronato. Drawings, paintings, videos and sculptures on display, exhibit an outline of that creative period in confinement.
Clara de Capua reflects on the memories that fade and end up leaving a hole in the memory while Daniel Mello develops research through gestures, where the movement of the hands and arms makes the support reveal intense colors and shapes. Irene Warrior keeps his eye on the transformations of nature, but this time also with extra attention in the empty spaces; Higo Joseph, which also works with large open regions, keeps spaces on paper to be filled. Gabriel Pessoto draw, fold and sew papers in an attempt to reveal discussions of the place of mankind and Gabriel Torggler sculpt small pieces and place them in a blue landscape, like a great sea. Maria Luiza Mazzetto, inspired by living organisms, fills the paper in an intuitive way but with biochemical elaboration creating a visual effect that transforms the visitor into a hypnotized being.
The proposed Almost End is to finish off 2020 with colors, shapes and good mood!
“We updated our turning points. We will leave 2020 to be counted as a painful and difficult year, but that at the same time provided us with time to reorganize issues that the daily routine postpones ”, concludes Duilio Ferronato.
A little history of the isolation of each one:
Clara de Capua — This work is part of a project developed after the death of his father, in August 2019. In a series of works, seeks to reflect on the limits between presence and absence. About a selection of personal photographic archives - photos taken by the artist's mother between the years 1970 and 1980, in GO and MT - small interferences are performed. The father figure is cut out in each of the scenes.
Daniel Mello — Series of abstract landscapes where you explore the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface. The painting takes place in overlapping layers of paint and its narrative is constructed through the process of creating and transgressing geometric planes. Combination of different shapes, graphics and materials.
Higo Joseph — The sculptures seek inspiration in megalithic monuments, like menhirs and dolmens, erected by different cultures and periods, from the paleolithic to the century 19. My watercolor and painting works seek reflections related to the limits, clashes and approaches, exploring the distribution of shapes in space.
Irene Warrior — Color and nature are the main subjects of his poetics in oil or acrylic paintings on canvas and collages on paper. Living in a tropical country with colorful views and bright light has a significant impact on work, beyond the psychedelic movement of the years 1960. Starting at an equidistant point from which it is possible to adjust a focus on the external and internal nature, concomitantly, makes cutouts that form dreamlike landscapes.
Gabriel Pessoto — Features part of the “modern environment” series, developed over 2020, that unfolds in various media. The research discusses the image as an element that operates in the construction of romantic and erotic desires and idealizations and reflects on the transit they suffer between analogue and digital. It also discusses gender roles and meeting points between perhaps conflicting concepts such as art vs. crafts., public x private and useful x embellishment.
Gabriel Torggler — Proposes an attempt to highlight some characters contained in the drawings that often go unnoticed, due to the accumulation of information on paper, and small objects that are often trivialized by supply saturation. I use brass and stainless steel in order to emulate valuable metals like silver and gold thus creating a game of values.
Maria Luiza Mazzetto — Build organic worlds. Drawing on paper, creates great landscapes or landscape fragments that could say about the bottom of the seas or the interior of a living organism, including the proliferation of fantastic societies. Starting from the drawings, now try gluing, animation and biscuit. For the artist, living organisms, so much animals, how much vegetables or microorganisms are visually similar in their internal and external structures, showing the proximity of the human being to his natural surroundings.
