“The Weight of Color” on display at CMTG
January 4 - February 24
Free
“The Weight of Color”, an exhibition of Painting by Raquel Taquelim de Almeida will be on display at Casa Manuel Teixeira Gomes from January 4th.
The works reflect on various aspects of both a social and aesthetic nature, with a special focus on color. They are also a cold testimony,
stripped of social prejudices from various quarters, highlighting some elements linked to the volumetry of the bodies.
The plastic of details of shape, color, contrasts and framing is highlighted, without forgetting romanticism.
This work also referred to a deeper analysis, in which the importance of art is highlighted.
