Bruno Can莽ado: Come莽ar pelo ch茫o
October 19 will see the opening of 鈥淏eginning with the floor鈥�, Bruno Can莽ado鈥檚 first solo exhibition at the gallery. The show will feature 10 works 鈥� 4 floor sculptures, 5 wall sculptures, a photograph and a site-specific piece that will occupy an entire side of the exhibition space. The show is a cross-section of the artist鈥檚 production from 2012 to the present day.
The works presented often arise from the artist鈥檚 investigations into materials and how they behave in certain situations, i.e. when the weight of concrete seems to dissipate, when it is bent.
dissipate when it is bent together with wooden planks, or when a branch supports a brick block. This game created by the artist alters the viewer鈥檚 perception, giving the impression that we are looking at something illusory. Another important aspect is the relationship the works have with architecture, the built space.
They are fragments of columns, beams, pieces of wall, which dialog with their surroundings, as if establishing a parallel between the making of sculpture and the making of construction. In this way, the artist leads us to reflect on how materials and techniques, such as concrete and plastering, came to be and the sense in which they are seen in our culture.
