Atlantic Between Us
7 Nov - 7 Dec 2024 Modernity made us believe that reason, science, progress, and human autonomy were the only tools paving the way to a better world. Forged in a context of profound changes in Europe, this concept erased the knowledge of non-European, rural, and women’s communities, relegating them to the realms of superstition and... Read more -
linhatravelâmina
3 Oct - 1 Nov 2024 The exhibition is a game of encounters between poetic and visual languages, along with formal approaches that derive from methods of making, empathies, and the questions posed by the artistic proposals of its authors: Maria Ribeiro, Miguel António Domingues, and Daniel Mattar. From my perspective, the exhibition's title reflects this... Read more -
Passage: a mode of reconstruction
16 May - 15 Jun 2024 In the works of Daniel Mattar and Antonio Bokel, we encounter two distinct approaches to manipulating the geometry of shapes, yet also imbued with a poetic aura that sets them apart.

Umbra Natural
21 Sep - 12 Nov 2023 In the vastness of the forest, Cássio Vasconcellos and Daniel Mattar invite us to an aesthetic and existential dance between Photography and Painting, surprising us with shadows and glimpses of a lost paradise, personifying the creative and fertile grace in nature. Here, the forest rises powerful and insurmountable in a silent shout for a global, personal, and urgent transformation of the Earth, in which the artists seek different ways of reconnecting with nature.

SAMSARA
18 May - 18 Jul 2023 For the seventh time here at Brisa Gallery, Daniel Mattar invites another artist to create an intriguing dialogue with his work. Samsara, this exhibition, brings together Milton Montenegro's and Daniel Mattar's artworks, both an ode to luminosity and the capacity to transcend. Art, after all, is one of the most fertile territories to glimpse borders that transport us beyond tangible reality. Read more -
FOREVER IS MADE UP OF MANY NOWS
23 Nov 2022 - 14 Jan 2023 As in Emily Dickinson's poem "Forever is composed of nows", which inspires the name of the exhibition, time here is an agent that has neither a beginning nor an end. It is infinite in the many "nows" of Patricia Goùvea and Daniel Mattar's encounter. Facing each other, artists with different inspirations but in dialogue on the layers of duration, colour and movement of their productions. Lightnesses that prove the encounter of parallels in the infinite. Read more -
_HIPERFÍCIE
6 Oct - 18 Nov 2022 From the creative dialogue between the artists' Daniel Mattar and Nelson Porto, the shared concept of 'Hiperfície' emerges.

The artists... Read more

Planícies Ressonantes
