On the gallery’s main floor, the exhibition Geometric poetics by Brazilian artist Macaparana is presented, featuring a series of sequences that establish a dialogue with one another. Each work begins from an initial line as an originating gesture, from which the artist follows his intuition without resorting to preliminary sketches, allowing the form to emerge in the very course of the action.

This method generates compositions that oscillate between spontaneity and rigor, building bridges with the traditions of Concrete and Neo-Concrete art, both through an intuitive geometry and through an intellectual and mathematical logic. In parallel, the exhibition draws a subtle line toward the artist’s personal history and his early engagement with the geometric forms present in the popular architecture of his hometown, Macaparana, in Pernambuco, Brazil.

Macaparana (Pernambuco,1952). Self-taught painter, draftsman, and sculptor. He presented his first solo exhibition in Recife in 1970 at the age of eighteen. He has lived in São Paulo since 1973, where he has built a consolidated career. He has participated in multiple biennials, fairs, and salons, including the Ibero-American Art Biennial in Mexico (1984), the Salão Paulista de Arte Contemporânea (1986), the 21st São Paulo International Biennial, and various editions of the ARCO fair in Madrid since 2005.
