3+1 Contemporary Art is pleased to announce Lá no alto do sol (High up in the sun), the latest solo exhibition by Gabriela Machado (Joinville, Brazil, 1960) at the gallery.
Gabriela Machado draws inspiration from everyday landscapes, in a harmonious, almost symbiotic, relationship with the nature and environment around her. Working with painting, sculpture and drawing, the artist creates works with organic motifs that take shape through the use of intense brushstrokes, luminous colours and contrasting scales.
In Lá no alto do sol, Machado presents a series of large and medium drawings that result from an exercise in making, as the artist describes it, where the traces of her movements lend a strong physicality and energy to the works. The body moves freely across the paper, exploring the possibilities of paint and brushes in drawings characterised by spontaneity and constructed through colour, created without a plan and in which any figuration is purely accidental.
