Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This contemporary artwork features a pair of distorted, charred shoes amid scattered paper fragments. The ashen, textured sculptures showcase a striking contrast between the organic, melted forms and the geometric, printed fragments, suggesting a commentary on the fragility and transience of material possessions. The artist's use of found objects and charred materials evokes a sense of destruction and rebirth, inviting the viewer to consider the broader themes of consumerism, loss, and the human condition. This thought-provoking piece resonates with the viewer's own experiences, prompting reflection on the impermanence of physical objects and the lasting impact of our actions. ...

B.1986, French

Alice Guittard's practice evolves over time, depending on who she meets, what she reads and what she wants to believe. For her, exhibitions are synonymous with expeditions. Her desire to push back the boundaries by inventing a new format and a new language each time, is a way for her to bring out surprising analogies in the viewer. Day after day, she persists in creating evidence of a fact that has not happened. She offers us something that is right there in front of our eyes and that no one else can see. Forms present themselves to her and she sets about giving them a new destiny, like the toys of a mad god. ...

Madragoa
Lisbon

MADRAGOA is a contemporary art gallery founded in 2016 in the homonymous neighborhood of Lisbon’s historical center. Since its beginning, the gallery has been an early supporter of a number of international young artists such as Adrián Balseca, Rodrigo Hernández, Renato Leotta, Buhlebezwe Siwani, Joanna Piotrowska, and Yuli Yamagata, whose first productions and exhibition have been produced and promoted by the gallery and often presented for the first time in Portugal. Moreover, Madragoa launched the careers of young Portuguese artists such as Sara Chang Yan, Luís Lázaro Matos, Gonçalo Preto, and Jaime Welsh, giving them visibility on the international scene. From its peripheral location in Europe, MADRAGOA’s project focuses on how to set a deep conversation with the city and its extraordinary potential, setting a dialogue between global artistic practices and local craftsmanship and ideas. The gallery always created experiences of research and production for its artists locally and promotes its program also through the participation in a number of international art fairs, gallery exchanges, and exhibition projects. MADRAGOA is currently recognized as one of the most innovative realities in the Portuguese art scene, while it succeeded to obtain visibility internationally throughout its years of its activity. At the moment, the gallery actively represents artists from Portugal, Italy, Ecuador, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Brazil and South Africa. ...
