Evandro Angerami

Counterpoints from the landscape

Sao Paulo, 2020

Some of the operations connected to the modern art, especially those from constructive actions that activate from the body and landscape approach, nature and the literal spatial displacements and the transmuted in sensory networks, from the technical operations metaphor starting points, define the exposure project of the artist Evandro Angerami.

Icons without history - a dance between matter and light

Siena, 2022

The residency at the Art Institute of Siena (Italy, 2022) is an opportunity for Angerami to deepen her artistic research by developing the series Icons without historia. The process of elaboration of this work evolves by combining images of a powerful nature, experienced by the artist in Brazil, with the iconography and techniques of medieval and Renaissance painting, observed live in Italy.

The poetry of silence

Mario da Silva Brito, in his Diálogo intemporal (Timeless Dialogue), points out that “the modern men lost his pleasure in silence”. This sentence becomes more stimulating when related to visual arts, because there aren’t few who always hope to find in paintings and art installations an explosive and expressionist view of reality, having difficulty in coping with those works tha stimulate the being inwardness.

The essence of the world

The painter Evandro Angerami paints weightless bodies. Entire mountains formed by the matter of clouds, a kind of view that could only exist in a painting. The distortion of the look, however, serves as a research arc as the punctuation serves the text. At the beginning of his research, Evandro claimed to seek, through his images, the silence of days. A counterpoint, perhaps, to the daily bustle of today. From nature, the painter draws the landscape. The sky, the sea or the wide view of fields were portrayed in ink on canvas. The contemplative landscape, added to the search for a visuality that is also contemplative, demonstrates the painter's interest in a fleeting quality presence.

The stars awaken a certain reverence

“I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find somethin more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape and especially in the distant one of the horizon, man beholds something as beautiful as his own nature.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature, 1836)

Storm skies

“It creates from our ecosystem a new world, whose processes and objects are so absolutely foreign to us - a world that works through radical mirroring actions, and remains hidden in so many other ways, without delivering the foundations of its otherness when it becomes what it faces. (...) Imagine that this communication sometimes gives a sense of strangeness to the landscape due to the narcissism of our human gaze, but that this is only part of the natural world here. (...) Our instruments are useless; our methodology is defective; our motivations, selfish ”. Jeff Vandermeer
