A Soul of the Street Gallery, located at one of the most emblematic addresses in the capital of São Paulo, Beco do Batman, opens on January 24th the exhibition “Dreamlike"Of Kelly S. Reis The exhibition features dozens of previously unseen works focusing on the symbolic and surreal universe of the artist, who is Afro-Indigenous. Her work investigates hybridity and cultural and biological interconnections from a female perspective, with miscegenation as its central theme.
Oneirism manifests itself as a sensitive field linked to dreams, imagination, intuition, and the unconscious. In this territory, the Black woman takes center stage and establishes a symbiotic relationship with nature. Through the representation of Afro-Indigenous women and the use of symbolic language in ethereal settings, the artist evokes concrete issues, proposing a poetic reflection on ancestry, belonging, and identity.
The female figures in Kelly's works move away from stereotypical narratives of victimization and suffering. Thus, Kelly S. Reis constructs images of Black women as powerful beings – bodies that affirm strength, presence, and imposing presence.
