Miyako Yoshinaga presents Galáxias, a new body of work from Brazilian artistCleverson Oliveira, on view from September 7 through October 13, 2012. A reception will be held on Thursday, September 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. This is the artist's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.
Oliviera's new work includes works on canvas, drawings, lithographs, a video, and a site-specific wall installation. Most of the works are black and white, some are surrounded by subtle shades of gray, and all feature a distinctive mix of linear geometry and explosive composition. Conceptually, the artist's vision stems from the notoriously thorny poems of Haroldo de Campos* entitled Galáxias (1963-1979).
