We are pleased to present the first solo show by artist MAI-BRITT WOLTHERS at the gallery. The opening event takes place this following Wednesday, July 19th, starting at 7 pm.
“A COR DIVAGANTE” [ THE WANDERING COLOUR ] is curated by Ligia Canongia and brings together around 25 paintings – most of them new works – which will take up the three floors of the gallery building in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro. The show runs until August, 26th. Visiting times are: Tuesdays to Fridays, (11:00 am – 7:00 pm); and on Saturdays (11 am – 5 pm). Free admission.
Born in Denmark and living in São Paulo since the late 1980s, Wolthers brings in her painting the modern legacy of pure forms, as seen in Arp, Miró and Matisse, in addition to returning to the simple and affectionate chromaticism of Guignard and Volpi. From this tradition, the artist enunciates forms that move fluidly between abstraction and representation. Her creations focus on a visual balance and are rather suggestive than figurative, mixing imagination and reality, experience and rationality.
