COLOUR ON PAPER 26.06.14 _ 16.08.14 A Galeria Leme apresenta “Colour on Paper”, uma exposição que reúne trabalhos abstratos sobre papel, selecionados pelo artista britânico, David Batchelor. “Eu me apaixonei pela arte abstrata desde que entrei na faculdade de Belas Artes há mais de 40 anos atrás. Quando comecei a trabalhar com cor, há cerca de 20 anos, percebi que a arte abstrata tinha oferecido muitos dos melhores exemplos de vivacidade da cor para a Arte. Isto acontece porque nestes trabalhos a cor existe como ela mesma, sendo independente de qualquer perspectiva, modelos e dos requisitos de representação. Também, sempre adorei trabalhar sobre papel, onde a arte se encontra em sua forma mais experimental, informal e inconsciente. Nesta exposição eu quis unir essas três paixões: a Cor, o Papel e a Abstração. Há uma grande tradicão destes de trabalho no Brasil, dos anos 1950 até a atualidade. Ao mesmo tempo, muitos dos artistas no Reino Unido, Europa e America que conheço, são inspirados por este mesmo tipo de trabalho. A exposição traz um encontro de gerações, apresentando trabalhos desde os anos 1950 até o presente. De artistas brasileiros, como Afredo Volpi, Hélio Oiticica e Willys de Castro, até obras de artistas contemporâneos, como Polly Apfelbaum (EUA), Jim Lambie (RU), Eva Rothschild (RU) e Mauro Piva (Brasil). Serão exibidos desde trabalhos improvisados, em pequenas dimensões, até estudos de cor e diagramas, além de colagens, fotografias e pinturas. A exposição tem como objetivo, examinar e celebrar a continuidade e diversidade da cor sobre papel nos últimos cinquenta anos.” David Batchelor, Março 2014 Sobre David Batchelor: Artista e escritor baseado em Londres.

When I began to work with colour, now over twenty years ago, I realized that abstract art has offered many of the best examples of vivid colour in art. This is because in these works colour exists as itself; it is independent of perspective, modeling and the requirements of representation. And I have always loved working on paper, because this is often art at its most experimental, informal and unselfconscious. In this exhibition I wanted to bring together these three loves: of colour, abstraction and paper. There is a great tradition of such work in Brazil, from the 1950s to the present. At the same time, many artists I know in the UK, continental Europe and the US are inspired by such work. The exhibition will be cross-generational and international. It will feature works the1950s to the present. Some of the earliest works will be by artists associated with Brazilian modernism of the 1950s and 1960s, such as Volpi, Hélio Oiticica and Willys de Castro. More recent work will be by artists based in the UK, continental Europe, the United States and Latin America, such as Polly Apfelbaum (USA), Jim Lambie (UK), Eva Rothschild (UK) and Mauro Piva (Brazil). The work will range from small-scale, improvised works, through colour studies and diagrams, to collages, photographs and larger paintings. The aim of the exhibition is to examine and celebrate the continuity and the diversity of colour on paper made over a period of over half a century.” David Batchelor, March 2014 About David Batchelor: Artist and writer based in London.
