Teresa Nazar understands the aesthetic and social configuration of the 1960s: a dynamic time, marked by the advance of technology that revolutionizes daily life and unites feelings that interfere in the creative process of artists, transcending the particular to project itself in the universal. Argentina based in Brazil, the artist is thus defined by João Spinelli, curator who signs the exhibition Teresa Nazar - Freedom and Dare in the 60s, held by Galeria Berenice Arvani between March 27 and April 26.
Teresa’s first individual of a commercial character in the last decades, the exhibition presents the public with a set of 16 works, most of them paintings to which are added a series of unconventional materials: folded, cut and arched metal plates, fabrics, plaster, resin, screws and plastics.
The works call attention for the richness of textures. Painter and designer, Teresa gradually adopts elements that dynamize her work, initially of expressionist character. In his paintings, we can see the incorporation of a new figuration, influenced by pop. Perfectly integrated with the composition, the elements used acquire a certain autonomy, of unexpected appearance, unusual. Noticeable, the amendments emphasize not only the precariousness of these materials, but of humanity itself.
