Gomide&Co is pleased to present solo exhibitions by Nicolai Dragos (Romania, 1931 – Brazil, 2020) and Seyni Awa Camara (Senegal, 1945), which open simultaneously at the gallery on June 20th at 6pm.

 

The Dragos’ exhibition is organized by the gallery in collaboration with Laymert Garcia dos Santos, who also signs the critical essay, and seeks to promote a historical recovery of this original artist, who lived and produced for more than four decades in Brazil. The exhibition brings together a set of paintings from one of his most expressive phases, dating mainly from the 1980s. Alongside Dragos’ paintings, Camara’s impressive ceramic sculptures will be featured for the first time in Brazil, with a critical essay by Luciara Ribeiro. Coming from different realities, Dragos’ paintings and Camara’s sculptures meet for the first time in the same space, an opportunity that seeks to reflect how the unconscious is expressed through forms. The expography is signed by Lucas Jimeno Dualde.

 

Both Dragos and Camara work with the unconscious, although they create different results on different supports. Dragos’ paintings always feature a figural that never consummates in a finished figure, while Camara creates her sculptures in the opposite direction, engendering varied signs at the top of her totems that gradually lose their shape and form as they approach the base. Both artists find themselves in the indomitable unconscious, perhaps impossible to represent strictly, where signs and figures are created and deformed. Both find themselves in the empire of the senses, of the unconscious, of something that does not exist, if not in the depths of the imagination of each of these artists, creators of unimaginable realities, without rules or laws. Both try to represent, each with their own preferred medium, the possible form of their unconscious.
