In his fourth solo show at Galeria Leme, Mauro Piva presents a new body of paintings in watercolor, gouache and acrylic, in which he continues his research in the Still-life genre, based on a dialogue with works by renowned artists. Opening on July 23, 2022 the exhibition mains on view until September 10, 2022.<\/p>\r\n
The works of this show are a development of the Still-life research that the artist started in 2020. Based on the selection of works and portraits of renowned artists, Piva emphasizes natural elements previously considered secondary in the compositions.<\/p>\r\n
In this set of works, the artist maintains the same scale as Caravaggio\u2019s original paintings, but gives the role of protagonists to fruits, flowers, and leaves, by isolating these elements on a white and bright background. When removing any representation of the background and main characters, Piva subtracts the tenebrism attached to the works of the Italian painter with the aim to bring lightness to the composition.<\/p>\r\n
\u201cI was inspired to work with Caravaggio\u2019s paintings, because when I keep only the natural elements by removing the human figure and the dark background, I am removing a heavy, dramatic, and charged atmosphere. I think it is everyone\u2019s wish to have lighter moments\u201d<\/em>, points out the artist.<\/p>"],"_content_0_texto":["field_6448479f05101"],"content_1_obra":["a:2:{i:0;s:5:\"45265\";i:1;s:5:\"45266\";}"],"_content_1_obra":["field_64486178449f3"],"content_2_obra":["a:3:{i:0;s:5:\"45267\";i:1;s:5:\"45268\";i:2;s:5:\"45271\";}"],"_content_2_obra":["field_64486180449f5"],"content_3_obra":["a:1:{i:0;s:5:\"45270\";}"],"_content_3_obra":["field_6448473c050fe"],"content_4_obra":["a:2:{i:0;s:5:\"45271\";i:1;s:5:\"45272\";}"],"_content_4_obra":["field_64486178449f3"],"content_5_imagem":["45238"],"_content_5_imagem":["field_644847c605104"],"content_6_texto":["View of the exhibition Mauro Piva, 2022.<\/strong>"],"_content_6_texto":["field_6448479f05101"],"content_7_obra":["a:1:{i:0;s:5:\"45273\";}"],"_content_7_obra":["field_6448473c050fe"],"content_8_obra":["a:4:{i:0;s:5:\"45276\";i:1;s:5:\"45274\";i:2;s:5:\"45275\";i:3;s:5:\"45277\";}"],"_content_8_obra":["field_64486178449f3"],"content_9_obra":["a:6:{i:0;s:5:\"45278\";i:1;s:5:\"45279\";i:2;s:5:\"45280\";i:3;s:5:\"45281\";i:4;s:5:\"45283\";i:5;s:5:\"45282\";}"],"_content_9_obra":["field_64486180449f5"],"content_10_texto":["About the artist<\/strong>\r\n\r\nRio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1977.
