Maia Bueloni paintings occupy the Cultural Post Niterói.

Exhibition open day 30 November and runs until 25 January.

Maia Bueloni inaugura a exhibition “Impermeável” no Espaço Cultural Correios Niterói. Leah curation of Rio, individual brings together ten screens artist, whose research focuses on a female universe of yesteryear. With painting in acrylic and oil on canvas, using a color palette reduced, the Mayan work evokes memories of a former Bourgeois family home, in an atmosphere of affectation, appearance, superficiality and false illusions, between affect and pain. The show opens on 30 November (Saturday), at 3:0 pm, and sign up 25 January, with free admission.

The Mayan work refers to images of other times, memories of a distant past. Its almost monochrome paintings, in clear and soothing tones, bring objects and environments in close range to the real: a wedding dress involves a body that does not exist; an angel comes off of a porcelain figurine of rococo; a chair and a hover luxurious and empty table in the corner… On their screens, Maia throws us into the untouched and waterproof environment rich living rooms or dining, an uncomfortable atmosphere between comfort and tension, between ostentation and austerity, between excess and empty, between opulence and loneliness.

Behind the beautiful atmosphere, delicate and feminine of each object, certain strangeness, like something was out of order. Behind the seduction, luxury and whimsy, a world of appearances, superficiality, silences and absences. Through adornments, Maia speaks of happiness stereotypes, where the female is very present. “The seemingly romantic paintings of Maya have their own life and are, above all, disturbing. The contrast between the symmetry and balance, Maya assigns drama to unpredictable results scenes ", says curator. The exhibition can be visited from Monday to Saturday, from 11:00 to 6:00 pm (except holidays).
