Illuminations

Niura Bellavinha, Victoire Cathalan, Angela Marzullo, Vivianne van Singer and Ana L & Noora K

Our proposal for the exhibition Illuminations is to present a feminine and contemporary perspective on the environment, our world: nature, beauty, movement, the use of natural resources, climate change, the evolution of the earth and its inhabitants.

The choice of artists—Niura Bellavinha (BR), Victoire Cathalan (FR), Angela Marzullo (CH), Vivianne van Singer (CH), and the duo Ana Lombard (MEX) & Noora Kulvik (FI)—represents an approach to diversity, being at once conceptual, poetic, and existential.

Each artist interacts through color, form, movement, or fluidity. Coming from different backgrounds, they express in poetic or conceptual ways their testimony of a changing world.

Their practices hold a unique place within art history:

Niura Bellavinha is a post-medium artist. She paints, photographs, films, and creates performances. Fluidity is a key aspect of her creative processes.

Victoire Cathalan conceives of the surface as an interface. She seeks to sense the impalpable through her epidermal explorations.

The duo Ana D. & Noora K. explore movement captured through photography to express their cyclical vision of life. Since everything is in constant motion, the artists freeze a moment in order to intensify, through abstraction, our perception of the world.

Angela Marzullo, in her performances Makita Origins, opposes every form of destruction, transfiguring it into a vital meaning.

Vivianne van Singer works with color in both a formal and poetic manner. She explores it through prisms such as the chemical, the aesthetic, the material, and the immaterial.
