Galerie Espace_L, Geneva/Switzerland
This exhibition presents works by Niura Bellavinha, Ernesto Neto and Christina Oiticica, three contemporary artists who use raw materials in reference to the culture of the indians who are native of the Amazon region. Their culture transports us into a spiritual space that mixes the environment of the three artists presented hereby.
Niura Bellavinha uses the roucou (urucum), a red pigment used in body paintings by South American indigenous tribes. Christina Oiticica works with the intervention of women from the Katukina tribe in her artwork. Ernesto Neto has a profound desire to connect people, places and cultures as shown in his work Once in Love.
