EDUARDO STUPIA
2015-12-28The exhibition includes works created in São Paulo, inspired in Barra Funda neighborhood. The canvases painted by Stupía, known for his drawings of utopian architectural forms, reveal a perception of the artist, rather than on the geographical displacement. Stupía believes that every physical and territorial change implies emotional changes, this is what transpires in the works that make up the exhibition. “The Barra Funda neighborhood imposes its qualities to a newcomer and a
strong scenic temperament. In this sense, I understand the exhibition as a real journey diary, besides geographical adventures, but psychic impressions, resonances, metaphors and illusions. Sometimes, looking at each of the screens, they individually appear to represent aspects mostly narrative” said Stupía.
According to the artist, the inspiration came naturally when he was visiting the hangar of Baró Gallery, on entering the large space, noted that there was a resonance between the reach and geometries, architectural structures and outdoor spaces around. “It started to be processed and translated in the form of pure graphic language, in other words, my impressions of the journey produced a phenomenon more analog than mimetic,” he adds.
