"The work 'Silvana' is a bronze work in which two intentions are entangled. The wall piece, a relief, wants to be a landscape reflected in the water mirror. The object piece wants to be a pair of doorknobs with a peculiar, yet ergonomic design. When they cross paths, the functional design and the imagetic fabrication generate two mutually implicated bodies, one filled with the other's emptiness. While creating space for the artist's sculptural modeling, it becomes impossible to say what came first, what is a pretext, what is a side effect."

Paul Miyada

Biography

Tiago Mestre - Carbono Galeria

Tiago Mestre

b. 1978, Beja, Portugal | Lives and works in São Paulo (SP), Brazil.

Tiago Mestre seems to be interested not only in things and their forms, but also in the way they are made and in the arguments used by the artisans to justify their work. For this reason, his approach to painting and sculpture often deviates from the major themes of the history of the avant-garde and focuses on specific concerns, procedural aspects and invented assumptions. The artist produces with the attention of a cook - and this does not result in any demerit.

Graduated in Architecture, he participated in the "Independent Program of Visual Arts Studies" at MAUMAUS with Jürgen Bock, in Lisbon in 2009, and attended the "Advanced Course in Painting" at Ar.co, in Lisbon, in 2009. He participated in the artistic residencies "Wiels Residency" in Brussels in 2009 and in "PIVÔ Pesquisa", in São Paulo, in 2016. He has a Master's degree from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo (FAU-USP).

He has exhibited regularly since 2003, in several countries such as Portugal, Brazil, Italy and Belgium.
