Instituto Tomie Ohtake presents the exhibition A song is made out of everything by the artist from Campinas, Vânia Mignone, from 11am to 3pm, from April 1st to June 4th. Curated by Priscyla Gomes.
With a wide panorama, the exhibition, with more than a hundred works, rescues the artist’s paths in the most diverse formats: drawings, collages, illustrations for literary works, record covers, engravings and paintings.
The assembled set draws attention for the vividness of the colors, the expressiveness of the large figures, in addition to the diversity of supports and techniques that appear together, showing a vast universe of experimentation, in which references from advertising, design, cinema, stories comics and music coexist with works on different scales.
Vânia Mignone – Sem Title – 2013 – Acrylic on MDF @ Edouard FraipontThe exhibition borrows its title from a verse from the song Clube da Esquina nº 2, by Milton Nascimento, Lô and Márcio Borges, composed for the homonymous 1972 album. of MPB in Vânia’s creative process. The artist from São Paulo makes a recurring allusion to her desire to make her painting a song, infecting those who observe her.
The large-scale, vibrantly colored mural dedicated to the recent episode of the Yanomami humanitarian tragedy, continues the curator, does not let us forget that making a song is also reflecting on silence and its consequences, on how to narrate the excessive and the unpalatable.
