Exhibition "POETICS of another

'POETICS of another at BELIZÁRIO Gallery

"... a branch of Philosophy that seeks to analyse the quality of works of art according to the concept and purpose of each of the seven arts"

A BELIZÁRIO Gallery opens the group show "POETICS of another"with its team of 17 artists represented, exhibiting 56 works in different media - paintings, sculptures, objects, photographs, drawings - creating a visual unity resulting from the personal experiences of each artist and the processes resulting from them.

Painting is repositioned as a technique responsible for relevant works, as has been happening elsewhere in the field of contemporary art. Bruno Duque, Celso Orsini, Fernanda Junqueira, Fernando Burjato e Matheus Machado use the support with mastery creating canvases, sometimes with a different colour palette and sometimes in b&w, to narrate their stories and experiences. Beside them, the works resulting from the manual ability of the artists Antônio Pulquério, Deneir Martins, Marc do Nascimento, Marcos Coelho Benjamim, Maxim Malhado e Paulo Nenflidio present three-dimensional works, expressing their registers in sculptures and objects. The drawings, with their delicate lines and strokes, but no less assertive, are by Elias Muradi, Jean Belmonte, Marco Ribeiro e Rodrigo Rigobello while Juliana Notari e Sara Doesn't Have a Name opted for photography as a record of their performances.

"POETICS of another" offers a lateral look where the distinct and the diverse present themselves in consonance with the whole, narrating personal stories interconnected through the freedoms of creation, and narrative choices of contemporaneity allowing personal readings and assimilations by the observer. Each artist's universe is unique. His message is always personal. Orlando Lemos brought together the stanzas of verses, sensitizing himself with their distinct poetics and drafted a unison visual poem.

 

The Artists

ANTÔNIO PULQUÉRIO (Campos Sales, CE)

Lives and works in São Paulo. Bachelor in Visual Arts at Centro Universitário Belas Artes de São Paulo. Studied Cultural Management at PUC Cogeae - SP. Currently highlights in her research the approach Ritualor Ritualsthat seem like pretexts of artistic making, addressing cultural and social issues/traditions, provoking tensions in the issues distinctive questions to religion, without wanting to deal with concepts about religiosity, belief or faith; what we see are possibilities of experiencing new spaces of manifestation, political, social and/or personal. The artist transits through the most diverse artistic languages, sculpture, collage, photography, installation and performance.

BRUNO DUQUE (Belo Horizonte, MG, 1983)

Lives and works in Belo Horizonte. Graduated in fine arts at Escola Guignard and Master in art and technology from UnB. He has been doing individual and collective exhibitions and has participated in salons and awards in Brazil and abroad, such as Salão Anapolino, Salão de Guarulhos, Salão de Abril, among others. His works are ways chosen by him to immerse himself in different thematic universes. Often made in paintings permeated by photographs, each series represents, not a point of view on a certain subject, but an instantaneous displacement to an unknown, yet familiar place. In the "mata" (jungle) series, for example, the artist presents paintings of landscapes with no evidence of humans or other animals, to exclusively thematise vegetation as a form of life. 

CELSO ORSINI (Itabira, MG, 1958)

Lives and works in São Paulo, SP. Graduated in Industrial Design from Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado - FAAP, (1982). For Orsini, painting happens through right and wrong. The counterpoints, light and heavy, hot and cold, full and empty are part of the pictorial thought and the densities appear clearly with acrylic tempera as a background and oil on top.

DENEIR MARTINS (Campos dos Goytacazes, RJ, 1954)

Lives and works in Magé, RJ. He began his artistic trajectory at the age of 19, when he attended a free art course. In 1993, he became a civil servant of the State Secretary of Education, working until today as an art-educator. His current artistic production consists of the use of discarded materials in daily life, thus his artistic production dialogues with popular art. Deneir works with mastery in the rearticulations of these raw materials, elevating them in the creation of poetic objects with a social mark and enormous sophistication and detailing. His works incorporate a Brazilian cultural repertoire, such as the series of works "Balões" in which the artist embarks on the cultural universe of Brazilian festivities.

ELIAS MURADI (Mogi-Mirim, SP, 1963)

Lives and works in São Paulo. Graduated from the Alcântara Machado Art Faculty. Starts producing in 1986. This production is in the territory of sculpture and uses drawing as a tool to understand space, place, relationship, position and tension. The pieces appear on the scale of the sheet of paper, essentially dialoguing with geometric forms that dimension something possible, angles, folds, filling, contours and perimeters. The human body is a reference for the construction of the pieces that often refer to furniture or conviviality structures.

FERNANDA JUNQUEIRA (Rio de Janeiro, RJ)

Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Plastic artist, active since 1985, she graduated in Painting from the School of Fine Arts at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Specialization course in the history of art and architecture in Brazil at PUC-RJ, and Master in Art and Contemporary Culture at UERJ. Courses in the areas of art and philosophy, drawing, photogravure and others at the School of Visual Arts at Parque Lage and at MAM-RJ. She has worked in the cultural area of Rio de Janeiro, in the educational sector of the Raymundo Castro Maya Foundation, and in the Assessorship of the Hélio Oiticica Art Center, Rio de Janeiro, as in executive production of art exhibitions in several national institutions.

FERNANDO BURJATO (Ponta Grossa, PR, 1972)

Lives and works in São Paulo, SP. Visual artist, graduated from the School of Music and Fine Arts of Paraná (EMBAP) e Master (2011) and PhD (2020) in Arts, by the Institute of Arts of the São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (UNESP). Fernando Burjato's paintings, overflowing with colour and paint, invite the viewer to look at the same time inside and outside the limits of the painting. The Brazilian constructive tradition, a certain organicity of the paint crusts and even a taste for kitsch, in the form of gradients and fluorescent colours, acquire in his paintings an unexpected coexistence. The pastel drawings, in turn, represent paintings, in a style reminiscent of the trompe l'oeil tradition. They are like portraits of paintings, real and invented, of Burjato himself. If in the paintings our eyes go to the edges, here they go to the background, to the mental, illusionist space of the drawing.

JEAN BELMONTE (Rio do Sul, SC, 1983).

Lives and works in Belo Horizonte, MG. She has a bachelor's degree in Social Communication, a specialist in Contemporary Art (PUC Minas), a specialist in Plastic Arts and Contemporaneity (Guignard School) and a master's degree in Arts (UEMG). He works with the particularity of the object, its ephemerality and transience, aligning it with geometric aesthetics. He has published in illustration magazines in Brazil and Argentina. He was a finalist in the Volvo C30 Digital Art Contest, promoted by VOLVO in partnership with Zupi magazine. Currently he dedicates himself to the plastic production as visual artist, graphic design and academic area. He is the founder of the Existência Artística project, where he acts as curator and art critic.

JULIANA NOTARI (Recife, PE, 1975)

For the last six years she has lived and worked between Belém, PA, Rio de Janeiro, RJ and Recife, PE. Artist, doctor and master in Visual Arts by PPGARTES/UERJ, she is graduated in Visual Arts by UFPE (2003). Artist and researcher in the field of Arts, she works with the most diverse languages (installations, performances, videos, photographs, drawings and objects) with a multidisciplinary approach. Her visual research has created a body of works that face their singularities, moving between biography, confessional, catharsis or relational practices. With different emphases and modes of operation, traumas, desires, fantasies and fears are repositioned in her works, establishing relationships between subjectivities that, in turn, configure the central axis of the artist's work.

MARC DO NASCIMENTO (São Paulo, SP, 1990)

Lives and works in São Paulo. Bachelor's degree in architecture and urbanism from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo in 2017. He is currently conducting a master's research in Visual Poetics at the same university. He also develops practical work in his studio. He makes sculptures, paintings, prints, installations, objects, furniture and videos in which he establishes an interdisciplinary relationship between architecture, design and fine arts. His work has been exhibited in public cultural institutions and private galleries.

MARCO RIBEIRO (Guanabi, BA)

Lives and works in Fortaleza, CE. Creates graphics in various techniques such as drawing in India ink and watercolor, expanded photography, sculpture, experiments with cement and cotton thread. Currently, his artistic production turns to the creation of geometric structures with instigating visual effect and undeniable aesthetic power in ink painting. The inspiration for many of his works comes from the family experience with his grandfather, a typographer. Later, he had contact with Brazilian brutalist architecture, which strengthened his relationship with geometry and the filling of space. An important encounter was with the work of the artist Sérvulo Esmeraldo, one of the pioneers of kinetic art in Brazil, whose work with line and movement strongly inspires him.

MARCOS COELHO BENJAMIM (Nanuque, MG, 1952)

Lives and works in Belo Horizonte, MG. Sculptor, painter, cartoonist, graphic designer, illustrator, draftsman and set designer. In 1969, moves to Belo Horizonte. Participates in the 12th International Biennial of São Pauloin 1973. In 1974, he won a trip to Mexico at the 2nd Global Winter Salon of Belo Horizonte and, in 1977, the grand prize at the International Cartoon Exhibition in Athens. In 1979, he made contact with various local craftsmen and began to devote himself to creating three-dimensional objects and installations. In 1988, he creates the set design for the shows Uatki and Mulheres, of Grupo Corpo, from Belo Horizonte. In 1989, after being invited to exhibit at the 20th São Paulo International Biennial, he began to produce large-scale, dimensional works.

MATHEUS MACHADO (Jacareí, SP, 1987)

Lives and works in Jacareí, SP. Graduated in Fine Arts from Universidade Braz Cubas in Mogi das Cruzes. In his paintings, Matheus proposes a relation between banal situations of his surroundings and the history of art. Based on an abstract geometry as the tonic foundation of his compositions, the work clearly dialogues with a popular visual identity. Composed of a considerable sequence of layers, the work carries within itself a series of tensions and paradoxes. Graphic areas, rigorously filled, collide with masses of scraped colours and thin brushstrokes; accidents and mistakes are assumed and affirmed as pictorial potency in an almost working game between control and chance. Not infrequently, the painted forms allude to compositional issues of architecture. Gutters, gutters, columns, beams, scaffolding and tents are emptied of their functional context and presented in a purely aesthetic and flat manner.

MAXIM MALHADO (Ibicaraí, BA, 1967)

He lives and works in Massarandupió, Bahia. Having begun exhibiting since 1995, he is awarded seven prizes in the regional salons of Bahia, and in 2001 he received the Acquisition Prize of the VIII Salon of the Museum of Modern Art of Bahia. He is selected at the Itaú Cultural for the 2001 and 2003 editions of the RUMOS Project and in 2004 he takes part in the 26th São Paulo International Art Biennial. He participated in exhibitions in the National Exhibition of Goiás, National Exhibition of Art of Pará, National Exhibition of Curitiba, PR, Biennial of Montevideo, Uruguay.

 

PAULO NENFLIDIO (São Bernardo do Campo, SP, 1976)

Lives and works in São Paulo, SP. Graduated in Fine Arts from ECA - USP and in electronics from ETE Lauro Gomes. Visual artist, works at the intersection between art, science and technology. His works are sculptures, installations, objects, instruments and drawings. Sound, electronics, movement, construction, invention, randomness, physics, control, automation and gambiarra are present in his work. His works resemble animals, musical instruments or science fiction machines.

RODRIGO RIGOBELLO (Mococa, SP, 1995)

Lives and works in Uberlândia, MG. Graduating in Visual Arts at the Federal University of Uberlândia. Rigobello explores geometric forms using mainly the line with rigor and expressive force in the composition of his works in visual arts. The artist creates a vast repertoire of possibilities having a heritage associated with concretism, such as the limit of colours and the approximation of Op Art elements.

SARA HAS NO NAME (Contagem, MG, 1992)

Lives and works in Belo Horizonte, MG. Graduated in Visual Arts at the School of Fine Arts of the UFMG. Sara Doesn't Have a Name, has been following her career in several areas of the arts, where her artistic production permeates the intimate, the situations that occur in her daily life are devices for the creation of her works, thus, the artist transits through visual arts, music and cinema.

 

 

The Gallery

A BELIZÁRIO Galeria, based in the Pinheiros district of São Paulo, is the result of a partnership between Orlando Lemos, José Roberto Furtado e Luiz Gustavo Leite. Its proposal aims to present itself as an additional option for participation and visibility of the production of emerging and consolidated artists in the Brazilian contemporary art scene in the São Paulo cultural circuit. The gallery joins the movement that seeks to promote horizons that establish new means of redirecting and expanding the art market, thinking of the different trajectories and artistic productions that compose it. Thus, aiming to foment cultural diversity intrinsic to contemporaneity, it serves as a stage for new and established artists, Brazilian and foreign, in partnerships with curators who are also imbued with the same purpose. At BELIZÁRIO Galleryseeks to serve a public that seeks the acquisition of artistic works, and also the creation and promotion of new collections. Its collection is composed of different themes and aesthetics, according to the poetic universe of each artist.
