The group exhibition "Singulars" with artists Helena Carvalhosa, Marcia Gadioli and Rogério Pinto will open on March 25th, 2015 (Wednesday), from 7pm at Casa Contemporânea in Vila Mariana, São Paulo.
Add these three artists in the same show is open possibilities for a greater number of people take contact with an exciting production and extreme inventiveness in languages such as painting and photography, where the profusion of artists and works seems to lead to a uniform production but also make room for a language that reappears with force that are the Helena ceramics.
Helena Carvalhosa show the restless and libertarian force of its production with paintings and ceramics. Marcia Gadioli uses photography to discuss urban change, globalization and the image status nowadays. Finally Rogério Pinto will bring the strangeness and humor in his paintings incorporating a little freshness seen in current production.
Often what is unique, what is unique, arises from unsuspected ways. The uniqueness of things does not happen in something supposedly new or aspiring to be unique. "Being natural, especially nowadays, is not an aspiration; is inherent to the artist who creates as breathing: naturally as if their existence depended on it, "says Marcelo Salles, Casa Contemporânea coordinator and show curator.
