The conference will be inaugurated on 19 October, at 19h, in the Valley of the Vines, and sign up 14 of december. Admission is free.

On the show, "she said: because dresses Wind overflow ", the five artists present works that stand out both by density and by saving elements, as a poem (the title was taken from the Portuguese poet Herbert Helder anthology). Celia Euvaldo brings drawings made with ink on Chinese paper, conducted between 1988 and 2011. In opaque surfaces, monochromatic, the presence of the body and texture appears in broad strokes, made at once, hours or horizontal, hours or vertical, creating a confusing pattern. "The line fluctuates, skids, the target reject, and I will Accepting the unexpected, including the reaction of the paper, sometimes wrinkles, contracts, and so is not only a fund, but an element with an active role ", says Celia. "They are works of unique and strokes, therefore, a huge risk. They are works of great delivery ", Müller adds Maneco, Gallery partner.

Esther Grinspum presents a set of oil paintings on paper, from 2017. Are small shapes drawn with Japanese calligraphy brushes, with features that reflect the quest for subjectivity and the relationship between spaces and empty, important issues in the production of the artist. "The circular shape is always very present in my work and these drawings are also circles, or almost circles, that lead me to the cyclical view of time ", she says. "A incompleteness tone illuminates Esther screens, which also bring unique strokes. It is as if only the first step would be unveiled ", says Maneco.

Starting from the observation of small stones, Elizabeth Jobim the drawings shows the assembled were produced in acrylic and ink on paper, between 2000 and 2004. "They bring my perception of forms, angles and space, and they are made of various parts juxtaposed. I was drawing on the wall with a watery technique, so they have drained ", she says. to Maneco, the power of the works on display consists precisely in this watery environment that builds and makes flow, propose a sort of negotiating, sometimes tense, with chance. "Elizabeth has a lively gesture, this much, but these works, it incorporates the unexpected. The paint runs down the paper and becomes art ", comments Maneco.

In Renata Tassinari works are seen geometrized plans by color, the result of research that the artist is from São Paulo 2003. The drawings were produced in 2018 with oil and graphite on paper. It was from one of the paintings was already on acrylic plates and on wood Renata began to think the job with the role. "The color palette of the drawings has a lot to do with my paintings, including white crack, which is the breath of the work, the risk through which flows the air ", says Renata. Color is, no doubt, the center of gravity of the work, and each of them claims for itself, as unique and autonomous persona, comments Maneco. "Renata demonstrates absolute control by placing side by side unlikely colors, which often have a less than peaceful coexistence. The beautiful and structured born from a mutiny of colors ", he says.

Sandra Ramos Antunes presents paintings in small formats, mixing the oil ink on paper seam and. in the works, she works both pictorial matter, with color blocks, his trademark, as it breaks, with flowing lines sewn, referring to the female body. Small and delicate, the paintings are the result of a process of making slow and painstaking. "The role is more fragile than the screen. In addition, Use fine papers, transparent, marking, I will win, react more. Ink Oil, even on paper, It takes too long to dry and use several layers. After the seam has, which is also slow ", says Sandra. "They are delicate works, both in format and in the finish, They are seeking to balance the geometric and the organic, rigidity and fluidity ", Muller explains Maneco.

All collected works in the show, "she said: because dresses wind overflow "for the first time will be presented in the city of Petropolis.
