Summary
In the month in which the artist Tomie Ohtake celebrates her 100th birthday, the Institute organized the third exhibition in celebration of her Centennial, curated by Paulo Herkenhoff. "Tomie Ohtake - Gesture and Geometric Reason", comprises about 80 works, mostly paintings and discusses how the rationalism of the geometric construction is the sign stroke that proposes the organic line, one of the important features of the work of the artist. Herkenhoff, important researcher of Tomie and curator of several exhibitions about the artist - explains a key characteristic present in the whole work of Tomie: the intangibility of perfection. "Unlike the rationalism of Western geometry, Ohtake experiments incessantly with imprecision '. According to him, the geometry of the artist, outside the canonical exegesis of concretism, expands the field and makes it more complex. "The painter contributed to the formulation of the geometry of the cross-cultural Brazil, involving her relationship with some aesthetic images involving spiritual values, such as ens?, the imperfect circle in Zen Buddhism, and the relationship of the form with the shadow, a value of traditional Japanese culture ", completes the curator.
