Takae Nitahara@ Galeria de Arte Vale do Lobo

The paintings that Takae is exhibiting are all based on landscape in her own inimitablew style....a mixture controlled brushwork and an experimental use of paint that defies logic....the appearance of the surface of the canvas is of paint that has been spattered.......dribbled......rolled....which intensifies the richness of the surface of the canvas......the canvases take on an abstract quality....full of atmospheric light......they evoke a sense of place...the show is well worth a visit.

The show runs from June 17 til July 2

Kasia Wrona "Flames of inspiration" at Lagos

An exhibition by Polish artist Kasia Wrona entitled “Flames of Inspiration” opens at the Lagos Cultural Centre on 27th March and will run until 22nd May.

This an exhibition results primarily from the strong and frightening experience that the artist felt during the fire that devastated Serra de Monchique in 2003. From this experience and the subsequent observation of the self regeneration of natural life, a set of paintings was created. This is contextualised the exhibition in the CCL together with an installation consisting of many objects / "eyes." In this series of works the artist expresses her interpretation of the primordial elements of life and affirms artistically the "spiritual kinship with nature."
