LIN LIMA OPENS HIS INDIVIDUAL EXHIBITION "OUROBOROS" AT PARQUE DAS RUÍNAS
Our represented artist Lin Lima opens this Saturday, the 12th, his solo exhibition"Ouroboros" at the Centro Municipal Cultural Parque das Ruínas, in Santa Tereza, central region of Rio de Janeiro.
Curated by Christiane Laclau, the exhibition reflects on cycles of life and death, of expansion and diversification, taking as its starting point a botanical micro-universe that the artist helped to articulate in the village where he lives in Niterói, RJ.
The exhibition space will feature two paintings, a 16-metre mural and a large format canvas, as well as two objects and a multimedia installation.
The title of the exhibition refers to a concept symbolised by a serpent or dragon that swallows its own tail. The "ouroboros" is usually represented by a circle, which seems to indicate, besides the eternal return, the spiral of evolution, the sacred dance of death and reconstruction. For the curator Christiane Laclau, the totality(in totum) contained in this symbolism synthesizes the concept of the group of works presented by Lin Lima in her show.
Featured in the images below is the mural painting "Ouroboros #03", which reveals a fractal aspect, with a life of its own, in drawings marked by the continuous repetition of the stroke, without beginning or end. In the object "Addictive Circle", Lima manipulates 160 cigarette boxes, creating a kind of industrial origami. According to Laclau, "in the reverse of the form, the sick characters, printed to denounce the evils of smoking, appear boxed, in a kind of emulation of the enclosed pandemic actuality. The structure conceived with the alignment of white boxes, "inhabited" by afflicted beings, presents itself as a mandala that mirrors the theme of the exhibition - the OUROBOROS - and a reality in which collective behavior determines salvation in the wheel of life".
"Ouroboros" is on show until April 10 and the visitation is from Thursday to Sunday, from 9am to 4pm. Free entry. Don't miss it!For more information, click here.
