Since 1999, multimedia artist Klinger Carvalho employs various materials and techniques to create his sculptures, which have been characterized by aesthetic experimentation. He’s the kind of artist who doesn’t resort to formulae in order to create.

Light and nature are what give form to her sculptures. Her desire is not to imitate nature but to look at things from both sides of the world. To mix the Brazilian thing that is in front of her with the Japanese thing which she brought with her in her baggage filled of memories…
In the open groove created by a gouge held by Katia Salvany, runs a blue river. It molds dresses, shells and drawers. It runs through the strands of hair and the expressions on the female faces that pay close attention to the viewer.

At the beginning, there was only disorder. The only god was Chaos, which reigned the nothingness, alone. So it then decides to create Gaia, earth-mother and the primeval force of the universe. This is how the origin of the world starts in Greek mythology…
Stroke by stroke, in a constant cyclic motion, like the sound of a drum that with each beat,gains more strength and body. Up close, the furrows remain parallel, like furrows carved into canvases and walls. When viewed in perspective, they form expressions, scars, delimit the space and configure the vast creative universe that is the artist Francisco Rodrigues da Silva, better known by his pseudonym Nunca (meaning never). The 36-year-old São Paulo native is one of the most prominent names in the national and international graffiti scene and owns an extremely recognizable style that has already made disciples on the streets and on canvas.

Touch colors, appreciate the sounds, relate aromas to images, automatically, without any connection to affective memories. The sensory confusion defined as a neurological condition in which the stimulus in one direction provokes reactions to a different one is what neurologists call synesthesia.

Creatures that walk between light and shadow, embracing both within themselves. Their duality comes in different forms: as messengers and as guardians. Living beings referred to as angels in the New Testament, they can, at times, be charming, while often frightening. Guardiões is pop-up exhibition that artist Samuel de Saboia debuts at Emmathomas Gallery on January 31. Angels emerge and are ubiquitous.
