Luis Adelantado is pleased to present the Portuguese-born artist Sara Ivone, with Quarto quente, her first exhibition at Boiler Room. For this exhibition, the artist presents a compilation of works on paper of an eminently abstract character, along with a series of pieces of an installation nature.
Sara has both a plastic and musical background, whose roots are in constant relation in her work. The fluid gesture of her drawings evokes delicate landscapes born from a very intuitive vision. The nature of the pieces she presents is therefore melodic to a certain extent, since it follows the dictates of sound and pictorial in how much gestural.
It will be our look however, which completes a joint and rhythmic vision of the project Quarto quente, which refers to the very meaning of Boiler Room, being the title of the project presented by Sara, the Portuguese translation of engine room. It is therefore an open and dynamic space, where color takes over the space.
Because for Sara Ivone, words are abstractions with sounds and sounds have their own particular colors, so that her drawings, the two-dimensional ones, and those that become independent to be present in space, force us to listen to them and not so much to see them. Or better to say: to see them as if we were listening to them. They are sought in space as words are gathered in a sentence so that it gains poetics.
