Descripción de la Exposición

In her first solo exhibition in Brazil, the London-based artist brings together works that synthesize all her recent lexicon of recycled images: volcanoes, ships, tartan, brickwork, appropriated silhouettes of fashion ads, and even a photographed fragment of a painting by Frans Hals. About this particular painting, titled The Golden Age (2019), Caragh says the work comes from a photograph taken with her telephone of the framed corner of a painting at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, the Netherlands: “A shower of coins falls into the picture from the top and inhabit a variety of planes within the picture. Some appear to be in the painting or emerging out of it. Others outside, falling over the frame or tucked in between the frame and the painting. It could be a golden shower or Danaë and Zeus.”
