sérgio sister | pintura entre frestas e cavidades

Nara Roesler São Paulo presents Painting between Cracks and Cavities, a solo exhibition by Sérgio Sister, showcasing three different series of works developed by the artist over the past decades, including paintings such as Pontaletes, Ripas, and Caixas (Pilings, Slats, and Boxes). The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Felipe Scovino.

In this exhibition, the paintings on canvas consist of diptychs and polyptychs of distinct colors joined together by metal plates, which are themselves often painted in other colors, creating narrow intervals between the canvases. As described by critic Felipe Scovino: "These pieces demand a modular construction, yet also possess autonomy." While Sister reaffirms the monochrome of each canvas and its flatness, he creates a sort of "break" through these intervals, embracing a sense of three-dimensionality.
