Marepe: Armazém de Mim

Galeria Luisa Strina, Rua Padre João Manuel 755, Cerqueira César

For his forth exhibition at Galeria Luisa Strina, Armazém de Mim [Storage of Myself] Brazilian artist (b. 1970, Santo Antônio de Jesus) deepens his on-going research, creating works that acquires a complex overlap of references and meanings in the use of readymade materials and everyday objects.

According to Marepe, he has been developing his production based on encounters with objects, some of them filled with memories, some of them chosen due to a desire to transform their form or colour – this latter aspect very much present in industrial objects. By removing the original function of such objects, the artists unleashes their aesthetical potential, “giving them the opportunity to be seen, as if admired for the first time”. In the artist’s own words: “The exhibition is this labyrinth kind of like Dadá, kind of like Magritte, kind of like Duchamp. Basically, it’s of this popular Brazilian hybrid, of this kaleidoscope stored in the moment inside me”.
