Abstract: The exhibition brings together 15 new works by the artist from Pernambuco including paintings, drawings, collages and cardboard cutouts, focusing on forty years of artistic practice, along with works by artists who inspired his creations: Josef Albers, Jean Arp, Almir Mavignier, Max Bill, Willys de Castro, as well as pre-Columbian ceramics of the Moche and Chimu tribes. With a sense of space as vigorous as the pattern of a dress pattern, of strong mental construction, his work has as its starting point materials such as paper and cardboard, the artist's favorite mediums, and which remind us, once again, its origin: the artist's grandfather was a manufacturer of cardboard bags. Over the years, Macaparana has developed a work that frees itself from the second dimension and becomes a metal sculpture, or else transmutes into painted, cut, carved and perforated wood panels, occupying the walls of museums and galleries.
