'Geometria’ e ‘habitar’ foram as palavras escolhidas para intitular a exposição de Dona Carmen. Em seu trabalho, as geometrias são constituídas paralelamente à própria construção do espaço físico pictórico da tela, presenteando o espectador com uma geometria que abraça. Suas pinturas são matérias visuais expressivas de muitas linhas e planos que habitam as suas inspirações e memórias.

Carinhosamente conhecida como Carminha, a artista é parte da memória afetiva dos que passaram pela EAV na última década. À frente da secretaria da escola há 12 anos, ela é assistente de ensino e secretária do diretor. Bolsista da instituição, foi aluna de Anna Bella Geiger, Fernando Cocchiarale, Marcelo Campos, Carli Portella e atualmente frequenta as aulas do curso ‘A pintura como um fazer’, ministrado por Alberto Saraiva, professor e diretor da instituição.

A exposição integra o Plano Anual de Atividades da Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage, que conta com o patrocínio do Instituto Cultural Vale, por meio da Lei Federal de Incentivo à Cultura.

Aguardamos vocês!

Local: Capelinha da EAV Parque Lage

English Version

GEOMETRY [feminine noun] and HABIT [direct transitive and indirect transitive verb]. The two words chosen to title the exhibition opening the year 2023 at Capelinha da Escola de Artes Visuais of Parque Lage also contribute to the construction of meanings printed in this first solo exhibition by Carmen Verônica da Costa Souza, affectionately known as Dona Carmen. I have sometimes said that: Dona Carmen is Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage! I take this statement back and make it explicit, because besides being a student at the School, she has been a [lovely] collaborator dedicated to EAV for more than a decade. I could list countless qualifications centered on her biography that are associated with the very constitution of the teaching processes within EAV, however, I dedicate myself here to talk about the painter Dona Carmen. For some years now, she has been dedicated to studying art from a historical, theoretical, and critical perspective at EAV, in several free courses. Recently, she finished the painting course taught by EAV's Director, Alberto Saraiva, where all the paths traced until then met. It was through this course that she structured her plastic and research process, very peculiar by the way, where she made it possible to unveil geometries that are constituted parallel to the construction of the physical pictorial space itself, presenting us with an exercise of making geometries that embraces us. In this sense, hosting Dona Carmen's paintings at the Capelinha makes us deeply proud, as they are visual materials expressive of the many lines and planes that inhabit her inspirations and memories. We open 2023 with the continued goal of answering questions we have been asking about the place of contemporary art production in the School and the artists who contribute to it. Revealing and making public new contributions is also our purpose as a space for teaching, exchange and experimentation!
