INQUIRE TO PURCHASE THIS PIECE

Between Lands & Moons by Peu Mello

(texto em português a seguir)

"This exhibition was a site-specific project that emerged from a one-month artistic residency in the space adjacent to our gallery entrance."

"Between Lands and Moons" invites viewers to contemplate the cosmic interconnection that unites us to the vastness of the universe and the pulsating energy of the Earth through the work of the Brazilian artist PEU MELLO.

Influenced by his travels in recent years between Brazil, Portugal and Angola,  he developed a Body of work  aligned with his gravitational moviment.  The exhibition delves into the intricate relationship between lunar rhythms and life cycles, highlighting their profound impact and influence on human displacement and behavior. 

Just as the Moon exerts its gravitational attraction, the Earth's magnetic field plays an essential role in the navigation and orientation of various animal species during migratory movements.

By incorporating this facet of nature, the exhibition offers a sensitive view of the complexity of natural systems that have shaped migration journeys in the broader context of evolutionary history.

Peu Mello brings his research of textures using natural pigment creating different points of view that are lost in the scale between the micro and macro within the expanded organized caos of the universe. A reflection on the influences of the universe to where it takes us and what makes us feel and how we can contribute to the world at every moment.

The presence of small silhouettes in some of the paintings speaks not only of humanity's interconnectedness with the world around us but primarily of the significance of connecting with our own essence during the journey of life.

The juxtaposition of earthy tones evokes a feeling of wonder and introspection.

Mello's artworks serve as a guide, gently pushing viewers into a deeper state of self-awareness and mindfulness. An invitation to reflect on the innate wisdom that resides within us.

"Between Lands and Moons" encourages viewers to tune into their instincts, to listen to the whispers of intuition that guide us on our journey through life. By honoring and valuing these senses, we tap into a deeper reservoir of inner wisdom, aligning ourselves with the natural flow of the universe.
