Pinakotheke Cultural presents the exhibition “Gonçalo Ivo – Zeitgeist”, with 79 paintings created by the artist over the last five years, from the series “Le jeu des perles de verre” (“Glass bead games”), “Cosmogonies”, “Cardboards” and “L’inventaire des pierres solitaires” (“Inventory of solitary stones”). The curator is Luiz Chrysostomo de Oliveira Filho.
Almost all of the works are new, and only five were in the homonymous exhibition held at the Paço Imperial in April 2022, which had 26 works selected by the same curator. Luiz Chrysostomo de Oliveira Filho highlights that Gonçalo Ivo “is considered one of the greatest contemporary colorists in the country”. The artist was born in Rio de Janeiro on August 15, 1958, and divides his time between his studios in the Teresópolis mountains, in Rio de Janeiro, Paris and Madrid.
The term Zeitgeist means “spirit of time”, and was initially used by the German philosopher and writer Johann Gottfried von Herder (1744-1803). The film “Gonçalo Ivo – uma biografia da cor” (2024, 28’), directed by Katia Maciel, with photography by Daniel Venosa, made especially for the exhibition, will be shown.
