After a three-year hiatus, Galeria Paulo Branquinho has returned to the art scene in full force, opening a new collective exhibition on Saturday, August 12. "Sem Barreiras" (Without Barriers), the new exhibition hosted in the 18th-century Lapa house, features 16 artists who present works across a variety of media, styles, techniques, and materials. Alessandro Caròla, Ana Pose, Analu Nabuco, Eda Miranda, Edna Kauss, Gustavo Alves, Ira Etz, Istefânia Rubino, Jacqueline Dalsenter, José Senna, Laura Bonfá Burnier, Marcia Rommes, Maria Cecília Leão, Maria Eugênia Baptista, Maria Lúcia Maluf, and Teresinha Mazzei share a common goal: to capture the visitor's attention and evoke a range of emotions.
The artists and their work
Belgian artist Alessandro Caròla has created a tile panel using the same traditional 17th-century Portuguese painting technique. Inspired by the Portuguese Baroque, the theme blends the Inquisition, eroticism, and comic books.
Ana Pose’s photographs, taken at the motel where her father lived and worked—and where she was essentially raised—explore childhood memories through the rooms she documented.
Analu Nabuco graces the public with her totems, constructed from objects, stones, wood, seeds, and various materials scavenged along her path.
