Exhibition "Guilherme Gallé: between painting and painting"

A Galatea is pleased to present Guilherme Gallé: between painting and painting, first solo exhibition by the São Paulo artist Guilherme Gallé (1994, São Paulo), at the gallery unit on the street Father John ManuelThe exhibition brings together more than 20 unpublished paintings, carried out in 2025, and includes critical text by the curator and art critic. Thaddeus Chiarelli and with introductory text by art critic Rodrigo Naves.

The exhibition presents a body of work in which Gallé reveals a continuous process of refinement: one painting triggers the next, in a movement where color, form, and space reorganize themselves, responding to one another. Situated on the threshold between abstraction and figurative suggestion, his compositions, always untitled, invite slow contemplation, allowing the gaze to oscillate between attention to detail and to the whole.

Always starting from a "place" or pretext of reality, such as landscapes or still lifes, but without resorting to the Renaissance vanishing point, Gallé deliberately maintains a flat pictorial surface. The tonal colors, built up in layers, structure the plane with a thick matter, marked by incisions, erasures, and pentimentos, which give clues to the painting process while simultaneously propelling it forward.

Among the exhibitions in which Guilherme has participated throughout his career, the following stand out: Joaquín Torres García – 150 years (Group exhibition, Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil – CCBB, São Paulo / Brasília / Belo Horizonte, 2025–2026); Point of Mutation (Group exhibition, Almeida & Dale, São Paulo, 2025); The Silence of Tradition: Contemporary Paintings (Group exhibition, Centro Cultural Maria Antonia, São Paulo, 2025); To Speak of Love (Group exhibition, Noviciado Nossa Senhora das Graças Irmãs Salesianas, São Paulo, 2024); 18th Territory of Art of Araraquara (2021); Invisible Art (Group exhibition, Oficina Cultural Oswald de Andrade, São Paulo, 2019); and Luiz Sacilotto, the Gesture of Reason (Group exhibition, Centro Cultural do Alumínio, São Paulo, 2018).
