ARTRIO ONLINE 2020
We invite friends and clients to visit the Folio virtual exhibition with works carefully selected for ArtRio 2020. From the ready material to the forged plasticity, the artists presented here awaken an unknown power. From the playful drawings of Candido Portinari to the ecolines by Mira Schendel, from the unique figure of Ismael Nery to the disconcerting relief collages of Arthur Luiz Piza. We included in this exhibition a historical engraving by Henri Matisse made for the famous illustrated edition of “Ulysses” by James Joyce. The select collection, therefore, is through contrasts, purposefully eclectic and curatorially challenging. Analogously to the process of extracting and mutating the elements, often straying from their mythic meaning - the creative artist is essentially an obsessive scholar in the apprehension of forms and ideas. Hence consistent originality is a goal, if not impossible, very rare. When someone becomes an exception to this rule, it is because he guaranteed his registration in history, regardless of the dealers and the market taking note of his presence. Welcome to our space.
