REVIVESCÊNCIA: UMA JORNADA PARA O PRESENTE

THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE, in collaboration with Eritage, is pleased to present: "Revivescência: Uma Jornada para o Presente", a solo exhibition by Angolan artist Osvaldo Ferreira.

 

Bringing together about 20 unpublished works produced over the past year, the exhibition proposes, through representation in painting, the emergence of a new status for the image of relational contemporaneity that is staged in the urban space of the Angolan capital.

 

 

Through a unique aesthetic construction, marked by the exacerbated use of color, the reinvention of traditional African fabric patterns and the deconstruction of stereotypes long mediated in the field of painting, Osvaldo Ferreira shows in this exhibition the invisible aspects of a social history woven into the daily life of the city of Luanda.

 

Through a continuous exercise of research, experimentation and questioning, the author proposes and redefines, locally, new paths for figurative art, with forms of representation and images that surprise us by their oppositions and contrasts and that, for this very reason, are integrated in the space of a modernity that has long been in charge of deconstructing traditional aesthetic categories.
