A Gentle Carioca is pleased to announce tororó, the first exhibition of Vinicius Gerheim at A Gentil Carioca São Paulo, opening on Saturday, August 10th, at 14pm. The critical text is signed by Felipe Molitor, who notes:
“Tororó presents a powerful set of landscapes that vacillate between interior and exterior scenes, where even the most obvious figures are fleeting enough to break free in a flood of abstractions. As if they were reminiscences, the meager records of a bedroom, living room, kitchen, backyard mix with gardens, bushes, skies or streams – a confusion typical of dream fantasy. The dreamlike dimension can also refer to fleeting images of memory, after all, remembering places and moments from the past involves a good dose of imagination.”
The new works awaken the senses with their layers of paint rich in color and texture. They construct varied perspectives, creating a unique spatiality that transcends the rational. The elements emerge according to the demands of the painting itself, adapting to the shapes and colors: thunder can transform into a branch, a flower into a mouth, a branch into a snake, a leaf into a bird...
The artist also highlights the beauty that arises from the repetition and overlapping of shapes and colors on canvas: “It is something that requires a lot of patience, dedication, discipline and a certain athletic energy, as it is necessary to repeat the process several times, taking advantage of the lower layer while it is still slightly wet, without losing the timing of the other layers. I think all of this enriches the process.”
