Our represented artist Raquel Nava presents “Envenenada: profanações e polimorfismos tonais“, her first solo show at the National Museum of the Republic, in Brasília (DF, Brazil). A set of paintings, drawings, sculptures and objects developed at different moments in the artist’s trajectory will be displayed on the museum’s mezzanine floor.
The work “Untitled (Skull 1)“, taken from her new series “Envenenada“, is one of the highlights of Nava’s latest production (see gallery below).
Curator Fabricia Jordão comments: “It is from the perspective of the contingency and immanence of the construction of the work, of negotiations with the resistances and challenges that the materials impose on her, that Nava forges her ‘tonal polymorphisms’. Using bones and feathers of animals; unfinished taxidermy and cured skins; industrialized materials, plastic materials and elements taken from ‘nature’, the artist not only invites us to think about other forms of interdependence, but also seems to propose that in art everything is bootleg, impure, in permanent interaction and mutual affectation“.
The exhibition runs until 222 May and visiting times are: Tuesdays to Sundays, 9 am – 6:30 pm. Free admission.
