B.M. -- Gauguin made the voyage to seek out "paradise lost" and he brought these elements into his paintings. The Brazilian modernist project did the reverse: it nourished itself with European art in order to disseminate it in the tropics. Beauty enthralls me, but I think that,even if my work can be pretty, it represents a world of claustrophobia.
C.L. -- We can go all the way to the idea that it eats us, attracts us, and absorbs us. What I find striking is this kinetic force. It is in this centrifugal force that you find the balance of this explosion / implosion... When we stand before or, e of these paintings, we have a simultaneous sensation of explosion and of unity. There is something that is keeping this big bang in place, and that ultimately renders your entitle repertoire imperceptible and unidentifiable but coherent.
