Dorothy Circus Gallery is proud to present METAFORAMORFOSES, the first solo exhibition in Italy by the Brazilian artist Rafael Silveira (Paranaguà, 1978). The show will open exclusively at the gallery in Rome on 25th June 2020. It is with great pride and renewed enthusiasm that we share with you the theme of Silveira’s exhibition, presenting 12 brand new oil paintings which, with a rich symbology and joyful colours typical of South American culture, invite us to become resilient and discover the new opportunities that come with change. The theme of the metamorphosis, elaborated by Silveira way before the current pandemic emergency, becomes now even more significant and related and extremely current. Indeed, as Silveira himself stated months ago:
“There’s a gap between what happens around you and how you react to it. Mind the gap” – Rafael Silveira
