Leda Catunda
04.09.2009 | 03.10.2009


A Galeria Fortes Vila�a tem o prazer de apresentar a exposi��o de Leda Catunda. Desta vez, a artista apresenta tr�s obras in�ditas de grande escala, pensadas especialmente para o espa�o da galeria, como uma grande instala��o.
As obras se relacionam de forma direta com a representa��o da natureza; em Paisagem com On�a, Catunda apresenta uma paisagem formada por centenas de peda�os de tecido que trazem estampadas imagens de plantas, flores, c�us e on�as; j� em Duas �rvores, como aponta o t�tulo, duas �rvores de tecido se entrela�am em quatro pequenos lagos azuis feitos de pl�stico dispostos no ch�o. Em Rio Comprido, a artista constr�i uma grande estrutura de pl�stico e lona toda pintada de azul. A obra � cheia de recortes que deixam evidente a parede na qual � presa, formando um grande rio que desemboca no ch�o e escorrega dois metros para dentro do espa�o.
Em todas as obras, a artista congrega diferentes cores e tipos de materiais, misturando linguagens variadas como escultura, instala��o, colagem e pintura. Al�m disso, Catunda se apropria de estampas j� existentes em tecidos variados, o que confere � sua obra um car�ter �pop�.
Sobrepostos, recortados e pintados, os tecidos utilizados pela artista se transformam em complexas e grandes obras. O impacto da escala humana dos presentes trabalhos e suas caracter�sticas volumosas e estufadas sugerem uma nova forma de olhar a obra da artista. Em Duas �rvores e Rio Comprido, que ocupam peda�os do ch�o, as pessoas podem travar um contato f�sico com a obra, podendo circund�-las.
As tr�s obras apresentadas s�o o mais recente desenvolvimento da pesquisa de Leda Catunda acerca do que denomina �po�tica da maciez�, em que explora a materialidade de suas �pinturas moles�. Toda sua trajet�ria pode ser conferida na atual exposi��o da artista na Esta��o Pinacoteca do Estado de S�o Paulo, uma grande retrospectiva que traz obras realizadas de 1983 at� 2008. A exposi��o � a mais completa j� realizada sobre o trabalho de Catunda e re�ne cerca de 70 obras, entre pinturas, aquarelas e colagens, podendo ser vista at� o dia 11 de outubro.


English version


Galeria Fortes Vila�a is pleased to announce an exhibition by Leda Catunda. This time, the artist presents three new large-scale artworks, specially created for our gallery�s exhibition room, as a great installation.These artworks are strictly related to representation of nature. In Paisagem com On�a [�Landscape with Jaguar�], Catunda presents a landscape composed of hundreds of pieces of printed fabric with images of plants, flowers, skies, and jaguars. In Duas �rvores [�Two Trees�], as the title indicates, two trees made of fabric entwine with four small blue plastic lakes placed on the ground. In Rio Comprido [�Long River�], the artist has built a great plastic and canvas structure completely painted in blue. The artwork has several scissures that expose the wall to which it is attached, and forms a large river that flows to the ground and runs two meters into the room.
In all these pieces, the artist combines different colors and types of material, mixing diverse languages such as sculpture, installation, collage, and painting. In addition, Catunda makes use of patterns already existent in different fabrics, which confer a pop nature on her work.
Overlaid, cut, and printed, the fabrics used by the artist become complex and large works of art. The human scale impact of these pieces and their voluminous and inflated characteristics suggest a new way of seeing Catunda�s work. Duas �rvores and Rio Comprido, which occupy parts of the floor, provide visitors with the possibility of establishing physical contact with the artist�s work, as they can walk around the pieces.
These three artworks are the most recent development of Leda Catunda�s research on what she calls �poetics of softness�, in which she explores the properties of the materials used in her �soft paintings�. The artist�s trajectory may be observed at her current exhibition at the Esta��o Pinacoteca do Estado de S�o Paulo, a great retrospective which brings works developed from 1983 to 2008. This is the most complete exhibition ever held of Catunda�s work. It comprises approximately 70 artworks amongst paintings, watercolors, and collages, and can be visited up to October 11.
