Description: "The book brings together the recent production of visual artist Ana Prata (Sete Lagoas, Brazil, 1980). In the midst of the selection of paintings by the artist, it is possible to follow her journey of experimentation, which mixes historical references -such as the modernist repertoire- with the presence of interiority in compositions that use a variety of forms and procedures, in a kind of game with ways of painting. Moving through the perspective of humor and the intimate universe, Ana Prata's work shows itself as an exercise of her critical spirit. "What comes before to me is always mattered, the many possibilities that painting offers as a thing - it is where there is a confrontation," says the artist. Even in relation to humor, "it is not the figuration that sets the tone, but the painting itself, which transmits it with the combinations of colors, procedures, compositions and formal solutions, supports, appropriations", points out the curator Ivo Mesquita, who signs one of the essays present in the book. Edited by Galeria Millan in conjunction with Ubu Editora, the book also brings an interview with the artist, conducted by curator and art critic Tiago Mesquita." --Ubu Editora webpage.
