Illuminations of the world exhibition at the AM Gallery

 Exhibition brings together Delson Uchôa and Luzia Simons from June 25, in Belo Horizonte

The AM Gallery opens on June 25, at 11am, the exhibition "Illuminations of the world" with two great Brazilian artists, Delson Uchôa and Luzia Simons. They will be two distinct exhibitions different, but "exhibiting them simultaneously allows the look to be distracted of its differences and confront unexpected convergences. The relationship of distancing and proximity between between the two is supported, right from the start, by the ideas of light that underpin them", says researcher Moacir dos Anjos, responsible for the curatorial text. At opening of the exhibition, art historian and critic Tereza de Arruda will have a a chat with the two artists. 

The exhibition will also have the launch of the firstnon-fungible token ( NFT) of art of Minas Gerais, in partnership with Tropix, a a marketplace of NFTs focused on the sale of art under its own curatorship. An NFT asset uses the same concept for digital arts, attaching to them a unique unique, irreplaceable and unrepeatable code/hash, thanks to the authentication of the sequence via blockchain. "We will offer a work of Luzia Simons, a tokenized digital video with the right to right to buy", explains Henrique Modenesi, director of AM Galeria.

Artists

One of the representative artists of the so-called "80's Generation", Delson Uchôa is from Alagoas and has an extensive trajectory of exhibitions - such as the biennials of Venice (Italy); São Paulo; Havana (Cuba) and Cairo (Egypt). And works in collections such as Inhotim (Brumadinho, Brazil), Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (Brazil), Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo (Brazil), Vogt Collection (Berlin, Germany) and York Stack Collection (Berlin, Germany).

At AM, 10 canvases by the artist will be presented. Loaded with colour, light and texture, they are composed of energy currents "that seem to feed on themselves, in a process of a process of autophagism, giving the sensation that they are living organisms able to communicate with those who observe them* .".  

Luzia Simons is from Ceará and currently lives and currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. On display at the AM will be 10 works by the artist artist, who gained significant international notoriety by developing a very specific personal a very specific personal scanogram technique on the theme of plants and nature in nature in transition.

The artist scans an overall composition in the smallest details, building a realistic and sensitive picture, an imposing work with prodigious prodigious definition and a depth of field that the human eye alone cannot capture can capture. In this methodology, objects are placed directly onto an industrial industrial scanner that replicates in pixels even the smallest details and plays of light in a linear fashion. The scanograms, enlarged in large scale and endowed with dramatic lighting, characteristic of the baroque, inhabit a space between the simple registration and metaphor. Not by chance, the artist found in the tulips a perfect vehicle to question identity and expose, through them, a metaphor for globalisation. a metaphor for globalisation.
