Jacques Ardies date 2021 with its already traditional collective

“13 artists portray, in works of art, everyday life, your personal experiences, Parties, countryside and urban landscapes, beyond the beauty of nature

The Galeria Jacques Ardies ends the season of 2021 with “Large Collective of Naïve Art“ which presents works of 13 Brazilian artists, and proposes a recovery of recent production in the field of national popular art, highlighting themes of everyday life, personal experiences, Parties, countryside and urban landscapes, beyond the beauty of nature.

The gallery's mission is to encourage Brazilian Naïve Art; artists who resisted discouragement and continued to paint despite the ills and discomfort caused by the pandemic were invited. “These artists share the subtlety with which they portray themes related to nature and everyday life.. using colors skillfully, they transmit joy in each of their paintings., the lyricism and optimism characteristic of the Brazilian people”, explains Jacques Ardies, Curator of the exhibition.

The so-called Naïf Art is an artistic expression that emerged along with the emergence of modern art. Naive artists, mostly, do not insist on following the rules of the academy and, by their own means, create a personal language, transmitting your life experiences. seek, with determination, overcome any technical challenges, proposing an original style, no commitment to perspective, and executed with complete freedom.
